I don't believe liberal, egalitarian, humanitarian types belong to underground black and death metal nor it to them. To me, the essences of the two are in conflict, especially between their respective hypermoral and postmoral aspects. - scourge, "Is metal inextricably political?"

Can we separate the political from the musical?

My answer: sounds are used in combinations that represent certain emotions and ideas. For metal, a specialized subset of all combinations is used to express a certain specific range of ideas. Obviously, that excludes some notions.

Therefore, it is certain that metal can have an ideological component.
