Sketchycon

Hi there.

This site is about music. It is meant to collect background information about (metal-)bands whether they are somehow involved in concerning sketchy views or attitudes which you might not want to support. Since there are a lot of bands and people around these days, especially in the Black Metal scene, which more or less openly support NS, antisemitic, racist or homophobe views and it is getting more and more difficult to keep track of everything, the idea is to have as much information as possible available at one point to provide an easy access to that information.

This site is not for any campaigns against anyone, the information here should be as objective and proved by sources as possible. Drawing conclusions in unclear cases should be on the reader. Having slightly different moral guidelines to stick to is perfectly fine.

The author is located in Germany, so there might be sources in German in some cases if I cannot find anything in English.

If you do not have any problems at all with above mentioned views, this site is probably not for you. This site is for everyone who encounter a new band and the first question always is:

Is it sketch?
