Swedish Ultima Thule: They are one of the oldest and most popular bands from this genre.
Most of their songs are about Nordic mythology and patriotism.
The band is seen by some people as racist, because they’ve recieved financial support from racist organisations and have played together with white power bands at several concerts. The members themselves claim they have no racist beliefs, but only support their country. They say they can’t take responsibility if some of their fans are racists. Far from all of the band’s fans are from the neo-nazi movement, they’re also popular among both punks, skinheads, “raggare” and other people.
Their latest album was entitled: “Yggdrasil”. |
