As I was browsing through the last.fm tags for Wolves in the Throne Room, I noticed that there are multiple tags labeling the band as communists, which I personally find ridiculous. These accusations most likely stem from the bands sympathies towards environmentalism and feminism.
Which brings me to my point, is it okay for a black metal band to hold left wing views or is black metal as an ideology closely aligned strongly with the far right?
I'm not alone with this concern since Dark Funeral and Summoning have taken a lot of crap from the underground for their hard line stance against NSBM. Given that those two bands in addition to WitTR bands are more aligned with the left, are they still black metal?
