    Interesting article which sheds light on Moonsorrow. For one, I'm done with them.

    the article seems to be just propaganda , it lacks any real substance, why are they being singled out , many bands have extreme positions on many topics , live and let live , you can believe what you want . if you look closely many metal bands embrace extreme points of view on many subjects . if I do not agree with a point of view on any particular band , I still might be a fan anyway .

    I live in the US and am VERY anti fascist.

    Reading this article it seems to be less about them and more about a band that they are friends with. Finnland during World War II was invaded by the Russians and they were very much caught in the middle of communist and fascist aggressions. I do not pretend to understand all the history of Finland, but I know there is a lot to unpack there in that regard and it is very complicated.

    I am not a huge fan of Moonsorrow by any means (not my thing musically), and maybe I am missing something here, but I agree calling them out seems strange. Maybe it's not 100% unwarranted, but if you’re going to make an example of a band being fascist, there HAS to be a better examples than this.

    Metalsucks has had this longstanding "thing" about calling out bands as Nazi or fascist. Occasionally they have a valid point, but usually -- like in this case -- they really don't. Seems to me like the site is trying REALLY hard to virtue-signal.
    They've caused metal shows and entire tours to be cancelled numerous times now, and sadly, it's usually been for bullshit reasons.

    I refuse to support them, and won't pull up their clickbait-y articles. IMO, they lost any semblance of credibility in the metal scene a long time ago. (You CAN find their stuff on archive sites, and thereby avoid giving them any clickthrough revenue.)

    Metalsucks is where you go to work when you are too retarded to work for a mainstream media outlet.

    Personally I think this topic should be titled Boycott Metalsucks.
