8 Heavy Metal Songs That Denounce Racism

While Napalm Death is no stranger to letting their stance on sociopolitical issues be known, this song stands out in particular because the band contributed a live version of it to a benefit compilation titled Anti-Racist Action: Stop Racism.

More concise in its message than the previous entry (and expectedly so because grindcore), Unchallenged Hate make mentions of “ideology” and “master race” to allude to the Nazi Party and, by extension, its prevailing influence following its formation in post-World War I Germany.

The song intends to equalise all people, though in a more downtrodden manner, reminding us that we stand together on the same sunken platform that lies just below the surface of something far less favourable than its own stench.

The only oddity is the song’s curious final line; while one can assume what is intended by the statement, it is an unusual way of getting the point across.
