Introduction

Hails

Decolonize Heavy Metal is a blog I decided to set up to archive true heavy metal created by bands with members from or descended from communities affected by settler colonialism. This includes groups that simply feature indigenous members as well as groups who make indigenous identity a primary aspect of their band. 

We will not, however, support non-indigenous bands appropriating indigenous art and history for aesthetic purposes, nor shall we support bands that hide anti-semitic and national socialist rhetoric under the mask of indigenous pride.  

Thank you for reading and I look forward to sharing this journey with you all.
