Remember a few weeks ago we told you that Swedish clothing giant H&M licensed some Metallica and Slayer designs to sell in their stores? At the time, we remarked how you could get a Metallica shirt at H&M cheaper than buying direct from the band.

 

But it seems like their marketing efforts or going a bit deeper.

 

A new thread on the Metal sub-Reddit calls into question a new marketing campaign by an agency known as Strong Scene Productions. The production company claims to be working in collaboration with H&M to spotlight underground metal bands via a new clothing line.

 

Here's the problem, none of these bands have any sort of history beyond pages created this year. For example, Strong Scene claims to be founded in 1999, yet they only recently launched a Facebook page.

 

This marketing project seems to dig deep. They even created tracks by these potentially fake bands to make it seem like all of this is real.

 

But here is the absolute worst part, if this is all a giant marketing stunt. Two of the bands seem to have ties to the NSBM scene (that's National Socalist Black Metal aka racists/neo-nazis). For example, the bio of the band "The One" lists them as being a part of the official band page of the record label "National Heritage Pride." The band LA/NY have imagery of Hitler on their band profile.
