Competition for this award is strong in the year of our Lord 2025, but "doing butthole album art fascistly to trigger the left" takes the cake

Are you sure that's what they're doing? Isn't the record called The Hate Machine? I saw a couple people interpreting it as anti-fascist.

If you interpret that cover as antifascist you should seek help

I mean, it seemed like a stretch, but I don't know the band's politics. I could see it being a provocation depending on how you're reading it. And it is. It's just a fucking stupid provocation.

They’re liberals and this is pretty much exactly where I would workshop an edgy liberal trying to do black metal provocation.

If you’re thinking social democrat or something then sure probably, mostly communicating their vocal distance from “far leftists” but still relatively progressive politics in certain regards.

Yeah, here’s his comments on the album as a whole.

Fallesskab - Overture to the Downfall. Here, community is praised like herd animals fleeing responsibility. A parade of moral superiority, where truth is trampled in the name of consensus. Where unity means silence, and doubt is a crime. Six songs of shame disguised as care, of freedom suffocated, and of the solitary few who still dare to question. A chorus of hollow words, where silence screams the loudest. Welcome to the celebration - the curtain hasn't just risen, it's been torn away!

The second I see an artist talk about their album like this I tap ALL the way out ngl. It just screams “this is gonna suck and it’s gonna be pretentious about it too” lol

Seconded. I'm surrounded by people this self-serious and I hate them. Pseudo-philosophical bullshit about the curse of collectivism by a dude raised in the cradle to grave welfare state that is Sweden. Fuuuuck off.
