    As a metalhead, I admire Sweden and Norway, so, your shame surprises me. I certainly don’t think of neo-nazis when I think of those countries.

        Of course not. But…

        1. That doesn’t take away from the genius of the non-nazi artists from that region. And there’s plenty.

        2. I don’t feel like that region stands out in neo-nazism and anything far right. Like, I would say, Finland has a particular problem? And slavic countries. France too. But in any case, when I find a black metal band I like, I always check if they’re sketch or not, no matter the country. All countries have sketchy black metal artists.

        So… that leaves an aura of prestige around Sweden and Norway for me. And I certainly don’t associate them overall with neo-nazism.
