Thank you so much for this! I’ve already made a few playlists based on the user rankings and reviews.

The OP caught my attention because a big concern of mine with the genre was the association of some of it with WS, so the wiki not mentioning it at all freaked me out a little.

To explain a bit, most of my family members are Norwegian-Americans, and while none of them have WS leanings that I know of, they’re still mostly living around other Scandis. I’ve noticed a lot of hate groups have sprung up in those places, and a lot of metal bands are either Scandinavian or reference norse mythology. I just have some phobia to any potential WS shit, since they have more than once caught me unaware. I was finally convinced to give metal a chance by an Indian-American coworker and an African-American partner, both huge metal heads, who insisted that was not what the music was about.

Thank you again for the resource. Some of these reviews are hugely informative of context and influences.
