We are only touching bases with Nazi ideology which we think is the ultimate sign of rebellion we're not the first musician to do it either. So here's some examples.
Marilyn Manson
Sol Niger is the name of the photo underneath by Gottfried Helnwein.
What Sol Niger means "a persistent belief in alchemic and hermetic tradition in the existence of two suns: a hidden one of pure." or just in plain english it means Black Sun Rising referring to Sirius A and B.
Marilyn Manson has done his verison of Sol Niger himself.

Boyd Rice / NON
Joy Division
This band was originally called Warsaw an important city in the Nazis war progress.
The name Joy Division was a reference to an area of WW2 concentration camps where women and children were forced into sexual slavery.
Here on Joy Division's first EP you can clrealy see
None of theses bands are so called Racist. Fascist yes, Racist no. One of the reasons why Radio Werwolf broke up is because of a controversial due to the perception of the band by some quarters of the music press as supporting Neonazi ideologies. Though this was denied by the band, Evil Wilhelm quit Radio Werewolf shortly after the 8-8-88 Rally, later stating that he felt their music was being misunderstood by Neo Nazi groups. Which lead to the total stop of the band altogather.

Sorry the last information was incorrect
Here are the proper the facts.
Evil Wilhelm's departure from RW was not the total stop of the band at all. The Radio Werewolf albums The Fiery Summons, The Lightning & The Sun, Songs for the End of the World, Bring Me the Head of Geraldo Rivera, Witchcraft Boots, Love Conquers All were all released from 1988-1993 when RW was co-directed by Nikolas & Zeena Schreck as the musical arm of their Werewolf Order. Our recent release The Vinyl Solution available from www.nikolasschreck.eu compiles many rare RW vinyl tracks from the 88-93 period and several unreleased tracks too.
Many Punk Bands who were anarchist and not Fascist had to incorporated Nazi imagery.
Siouxsie Sioux
Sid Vicious
"Nazi chic is the approving use of Nazi-era style, imagery, and paraphernalia in clothing and popular culture, especially when used for taboo-breaking or shock value rather than out of genuine sympathies with Nazism.
Its use began in the mid-seventies with the emergence of the punk movement in London: the Sex Pistols' first television appearance occurred with a person of their entourage wearing a swastika. Nazi chic was later used in the fashion industry in various occasions."
