There seems to be an ostensible white supremacist undercurrent to a lot of
the Scandinavian metal. Odd, since they're playing rock'n'roll, though I'm
sure there is some specious argument tracing those lead guitar solos back to
Celtic or Nordic modes and not African pentatonics. I find this disturbing.
You would know more about it than me O' Pestilential One. I question how
much "balance" there is in Sweden. Fill me in.
