„Über NSBM: Einblicke ins rechtsextreme Metal-Milieu“ | Vortrag von Christina Wenig + Diskussion

In the organizer's words:

Black metal has an image problem: based on values such as provocation and subversion as well as a tendency towards extremes in sound, attitude and aesthetics, the genre is generally regarded as politically questionable. Even though large sections of the black metal scene see themselves as apolitical and there is now a decidedly anti-fascist movement within the genre, right-wing forces were able to spread through the scene early on, which have attributed the stylistic extremism of black metal to discriminatory,
anti-human and anti-democratic.

The lecture "About NSBM: Insights into the right-wing extremist metal milieu" offers an introduction to the world of National Socialist Black Metal and explains the origins, characteristics and status quo of this neo-Nazi scene. The aim is not least to provide a more differentiated picture of the genre as a whole.

Her articles on metal, hardcore and related genres have appeared in magazines such as Visions and Metal Hammer Germany and the UK, and Diffus Magazine has also published her column "Hard In Here" since 2022.
