[10] On their 1996 demo Lunar Poetry the band advocated for the killing of Christians, the destruction of churches, and Slavic paganism, along with describing Jesus as a "crucified hippie".

Later, when releasing their EP Marble Moon and also the Nechrist and Lunar Poetry albums, they included anti-Semitic lyrics with neo-Nazi and white supremacy messages and imagery.

[11][12][13] As the more popular non-political black metal scene (including many shops and concert events) began distancing themselves from their ideology, the band instead became prominent in the early Eastern European National Socialist black metal scene, and is today often considered as one of the groups that shaped the Slavic subcultural NSBM movement.

[6][11][12][16][17] In interviews, appearances, merchandise and on their website, the band showcased neo-Nazi opinions but their music style itself was described as "pagan black metal".

[18][19] In 2014 the group maintained that NM had severed ties with NSBM ideologies and political themes,[20] however these statements appear to contradict some conduct in the following years, as the band has remained active in white supremacist circles and it has played live at neo-Nazi and far right shows, including Ukraine's own Asgardsrei festival in 2016 and 2018.
