8 Heavy Metal Songs That Denounce Racism

One would suppose the title says it all here, as Northern Ireland thrash metal outfit Gama Bomb briefly forego their otherwise lighthearted, pop-culture-infused topicality to opine about racism, making specific reference to Adolf Hitler, the Ku Klux Klan and Sir Oswald Mosley, the last of which being the founder of the British Union of Fascists.

The lyrics metaphorically point a finger at an unspecified person (or persons) for associations with the aforementioned parties and insist that racism “didn’t work in the forties” and is “not gonna work now.”

I say “unspecified” as the scope of its intentions can not be discerned from the lyrics alone; frequently using the pronoun "you" and mentioning Mosley by name in the choruses and then referring to being in a submarine and being part of the Klan, neither of which scenarios apply to the man, makes the purpose vague.

Presumably, Racists! is another broad stroke against the most notable names and group in the perpetuity of racial tension rather than against one particular individual.
