    Not explicit anti-racist but both arch enemy and lamb of god are leftists. Deathangel are a very good Filipino trash metal band from the bayarea. napalm death is good but prob already to grind for you.

    The best I can give you is various Left Thrash Metal bands that touch on subjects like war, sexism, racism, fascism, etc.

    Hyades
    influenced instrumentally by bay-area bands like Metallica, with European/Teutonic styled vocals
    + YouTube Video

    Sodom
    The best anti-war metal band... ever. So good I'm posting both old and new stuff.

    + YouTube Video

    Get their "Agent Orange" album. It's entirely about the Vietnam War.

    + YouTube Video

    This isn't anywhere near their best material, but it was released in 2010 and shows you can still put out raging music at the young age of 48. Plus, it was one of their first "melodic" songs (errrrrggh about 2:50) after being a band of 30 years.
    I saw millions of people working.
    Not for themselves but for someone else.

    Coma of Souls is one of the best thrash albums ever! "People of the Lie" just happens to be on it too. Easily Kreator's best album.

    Thing is though, non racist heavy metal are far and few between. And I am sorry to say, but do you have any idea about Slayer??? They have songs glorifying nazi's in which the chorus is a constant repeating of ''Auschwitz Auschwitz!''
    I mean for fuck sake, the lead singer (...) goes by the monnicker Aryan, and another member is called Hanneman (which is German for henchman, say it all, mkay). Google it if you don't believe me, it's I pressume on Wiki.

    I am sure there will be some decent people who like metal for whatever reason (image? rebellion? belonging to a group?) but in general it is known that it attracts the troubled. Off all the school shooters in America, 97% listens to heavy metal, FACT!
    I often wonder what has happened to the kid in school who blackened his eyes and wore a Marilyn Mansion t shirt. He seemed cheery and nice, but he probably hid a lot of mental problems. Poor sod, hope he has sought out a psychiatrist or something.

    What I have also found ironic about it, is that for all the macho homophobic attitudes they wear eye make up and grow their hair. Nothing wrong with it, but then don't be such a dick about how tough you are.

    For revolutionary music, I refer you to several punk bands, and some rock like Rage Against The Machine and Pearl Jam.

    Ignore this man, for he talketh right pish.

    Slayer are not a racist band. Hell, the singer is actually a person of colour, a Chilean of mixed Spanish and indigenous ancestry (and his name is "Araya", not "Aryan"). They just adopted a pseudo-Nazi aesthetic for the shock value- as if the fact that they blended it with Satanism didn't give that away!- precisely because they know full well that Nazism and the Nazi regime were heinous in every sense of the word. And, frankly, that's not new; playing with imagery you know to be morally objectionable goes back to Black Sabbath, and if you don't get that, then you don't get an opinion on metal. Go and sit with your PRMC chums in the Corner of Unrelenting Sincerity and leave us more nuanced fellows to get on with things in peace.

    Bullshit. Gimme one half decent source for this.

    Wait, you're criticising their cis-heteronormative attitudes (which I will admit that metal subculture is more backwards on than other alternative subcultures) on cis-heteronormative grounds? That doesn't really follow.

    not to mention that the godfather of leather metal was more gay as an carebear dipped in sprinkles:

    This is complete horseshit. Slayer are anti-war ("War Ensemble", "Flesh Storm" hell, all of "Christ Illusion"), atheist (anything off of "God Hates Us All"), and anti-establishment (they dedicated an entire album to punk songs, "Undisputed Attitude").

    Aside from butchering the names of the band members, which has already been touched on, you wrongly assert that they "glorify" Nazism. I assume you are referring to the song "Angel of Death" in your post, well Wiki has this to say about the track:

    "Angel of Death" caused outrage among survivors of the Holocaust, as well as their families and the general public. The controversy led to accusations of Nazi sympathizing which have followed Slayer throughout their career.[2] People took Hanneman's interest in Nazi history and his collection of Nazi medals as evidence of sympathizing[2] – his most prized item being a German Knight’s Cross.[8] Hanneman counteracted asserting:
    "I know why people misinterpret it – it's because they get this knee–jerk reaction to it. When they read the lyrics, there's nothing I put in the lyrics that says necessarily he was a bad man, because to me – well, isn't that obvious? I shouldn't have to tell you that."[9]
    Also:

    According to guitarist Kerry King: "Yeah, Slayer are Nazis, fascists, communists—all that fun shit. And of course we got the most flak for it in Germany. I was always like, 'Read the lyrics and tell me what’s offensive about it. Can you see it as a documentary, or do you think Slayer’s preaching fucking World War II?' People get this thought in their heads—especially in Europe—and you’ll never talk them out of it."[2]

    The song drew accusations of racism, although the band denied these claims.[2] In addition, the band's producer and close friend Rick Rubin has Jewish ancestry, their vocalist/bassist Tom Araya is Chilean, their drummer Dave Lombardo is Cuban, and King had a guest appearance on the Jewish hip hop group Beastie Boys' song "No Sleep till Brooklyn".[2] The band members are often asked about the accusations in interviews, and have stated numerous times that they do not condone racism and are merely interested in the subject.[10]
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angel_of_Death_%28song%29

    You have obviously never listened to the band short of snippets from very, very skewed sources.

    I think that the majority of metal bands have a leftist sense in their lyrics. From black sabbath to napalm death.
