From their About page :
Direct fascist influence is not easy to prove conclusively since the worst offenders will usually deny that they are dealing in explicitly fascist ideas or that they support fascism, or argue that since they are not card-carrying members of a fascist group they cannot possibly be considered fascist. It is not a matter of proving or disproving membership of a group or party; rather it is hoped to show how a range of specifically fascist ideas are being actively promoted - knowingly (certainly, in some cases) or unknowingly. Central to the aim of the site is to show this situation is not simply due to the confused politics of particular musicians (though some of them are very confused indeed), but is also the result of a deliberate effort on the part of a number of pro-fascist thinkers to work surreptitiously in the area of culture with the aim of 'normalising' some of the cultural, social and aesthetic views of fascism, thus creating a periphery out of which a future fascist political movement might recruit. In short, some fascists involved are following a course outlined by Alain de Benoist, a leading figure in the Nouvelle Droite, and the fascist and 'traditionalist' thinker JuliusEvola, who argued that fascist forces should retreat from active politics (as described in Anton Shekhovtsov's essay Apoliteic Music: Neo-Folk, Martial Industrial and ‘Metapolitical Fascism’)
