NSBM (National Socialist black metal) is a subgenre of black metal tag on lyrical themes that supports neo-Nazism (as well as fascism and white supremacy), emerged in 1990s. NSBM typically combines Nazi imagery, aesthetics, and ideology with ethnic European paganism, Satanism, or Nazi occultism, or a combination thereof. They often oppose Christianity, Islam and Judaism based on a racialist view that three of them are Semitic religions which are considered "alien" to native lands of the white race. Many NSBM projects incorporate musical influence from pagan metal and RAC.
Despite that, some music bands have also featured references to the Third Reich (e.g. Marduk) purely for shock value.
Some notable pioneers of NSBM are Absurd from Germany, Der Stürmer from Greece, and Fullmoon from Poland.
