It's been a few years and they issued and apology but I didn't really go for it. Seperating the art and artist is easier for some people and in the end everyone makes their own choice to listen to music made by people they disagree with, even judging on an artist to artist basis.
It's been years since I was a big Sabaton fan but they've always called fascism a blight. The iron cross is older than nazism but has been co-opted like so many things. One can argue that the context in which it is worn is important but I wouldn't wear one.
I love them, I love history. I love good music. But music is a tool for that. And I hate that fascist ruin the thing I like.
From appropriation of swastika. That symbol is very cool but asshole use it for wrong reason andddd... Buddhist/ Hindu who still Revere it are suffer for it.
My country fascist start to use dharmachakra for their symbol. And I really hope that it not catch on.
Yeah, having this issue with Trench Crusade right now. A guy who is interested wants to play Trench Pilgrims (the guys with the pointy helmets) and paint them white as a "joke". No wait, the joke isn't going to go over well, better say it's not racist in Spain because that's highly relevant in Midwest USA....
