As an avid listener of metal, something that frustrates me is the prevalence of chuds and reactionaries in metal (especially black metal). The visibility of guys like Varg and Famine of Peste Noire infamy has colored the public perception of extreme metal as being the domain of edgelord fascists. What are some metal groups that could be said to be socialist, anarchist, or leftist in some manner?
To start things off, I'd highly recommend the Panopticon album "Kentucky," which is a BM album about the state's history with labor organizing among coal miners, as well as the coal industry's destruction of the state's natural beauty. It's not a perfect album by any means but the way it mixes BM with bluegrass is cool, plus it has an incredibly redpilled message.

Al Namrood, anarchist black metal with folk metal influences from saudi arabia.
Thlipsis, anarchist black metal from Greece
Check out red metal promotion on youtube. They have a ton of left wing metal from different genres and countries.
That‘s all I can contribute to the list, the rest has already been said.
Also, why do even liberals defend NSBM, the shittiest kind of black metal? The great names (Peste Noire, Carpathian Forest, etc) are the only ones to actually make good black metal sometimes. They destroy everything black metal stands for. I recently saw one commenting under a Non Est Deus video „why do you guy never criticize Islam, only Christianity?“
