Arghoslent

Arghoslent is an American death metal band from Oakton, Virginia[1] formed in mid-1990. While acclaimed in the metal underground for their trad metal-influenced brand of galloping riffs and bluegrass-style guitar leads, the band's lyrics have been the source of much controversy.[2] Arghoslent's primary lyrical themes include racism, white supremacy, apologia for the trans-Atlantic slave trade, Holocaust,[3] eugenics, imperialism, and European genocide efforts against Native Americans, among other atrocities.
