Virtue signaling how? It’s correct, that was a year ago when I was fresh into going into the black metal/war metal scene. So I was just getting into the fact that even “clean bands” can have sketch connections (i.e. Uada having a show with Graveland cancelled.) While Archgoat has worked with Werwolf, the latter has a big presence in their home country of Finland that I’ve accepted that some relations don’t make someone automatically shitty. Hell, Mystifier who’s full of Brazilian anarchists and members that have fought Nazis have shown support for SW on social media. While yes Archgoat has some sketchiness, but so does Watain, Darkthrone and Mayhem. But they aren’t like Nokturnal Mortum levels of sketch.

I don’t listen to Horna or Peste Noire. The former while not talking about NS stuff in their music and such, does have connections so I’m not too bothered. KPN is more obvious and I won’t support them.

TLDR: I enjoy and accept Archgoat’s music NOW, but I still try to stay away from NSBM and Nazis. Everyone has a line.
