RABM, an acronym for "Red and Anarchist Black Metal," is a subgenre of black metal music characterized by its blending of extreme metal's sonic aggression and bleak atmospherics with politically charged and socially conscious themes. Unlike traditional black metal, which can often be associated with misanthropic and reactionary ideologies, RABM artists embrace leftist, anti-fascist, and egalitarian principles. The lyrical content of RABM often focuses on issues such as anti-capitalism, environmentalism, anti-racism, and the struggle against authoritarianism, aiming to use the visceral impact of black metal as a vessel for political activism and change. The genre stands as a testament to the versatility of black metal, serving as a counter-narrative to the genre's darker ideological fringes and promoting solidarity through its fierce and uncompromising artistry.
