Forgive me pushing my own stuff here. As some of you know I’m a member of an atheistic Satanic organisation. We are currently running a campaign against the incursion of the far right and hate into various alt music scenes, including metal, called Satan Not Hatin’.

Today we have released a compilation album on Bandcamp called Contra Odium (“Against Hate”) featuring the music of thirteen of the Satan Not Hatin’ participants. They’re all metal bands (plus a couple of punks) on the album and its a real mix of subgenres - Black Metal, Doom, Post, Gothic, Sludge.

Proceeds from the album will be divided amongst participating Orders (UK, Sweden, Pittsburgh and Seattle) and in turn passed on in full to charities local to each Order:

• GOS UK: The Sophie Lancaster Foundation and Hope Not Hate
• House of Heretics (Seattle): The Lavender Rights Project
• Satanistiska samfundet (GOS Sweden): Transammans
• GOS: Steel City (Pittsburgh): Greater Pittsburgh Arts Council
