Help: List of Bands w/ Blacks in Them.
I really wanted to formulate a list of bands that have black folk's in them and put it in a side bar or something just in case someone wanted to know. I wanted your help in finding some bands-this would include metal (of course), rock, indie, etc. Just any type of music that isn't what you'd expect w/ blacks. I first wanted to get some bands from you guys then add on the ones that I know of to make the list.(BTW: I might make a list of female fronted metal bands too so if you know any really good ones add that below your bands w/ blacks listing)
So please post some bands!
Thanks!

Bands that have BLACK PEOPLE in them from various genres. Last time I checked that defintetly wasn't Burzum (sort of an oxymoron if you think of it)Or most of the other bands previously listed.
Please don't post bands that I wasn't specifically looking for.
Death Metal :
Blasphemy (brutal black/death)
Suffocation
Diabolic (old)
Black Metal :
Blasphemy (brutal black/death)
For others bands... I don’t know. There are very very few blacks in Black Metal. In Pagan metal, it’s even worse
I don't know that many but these are the ones I like
Killswitch Engage
Candiria (more people should listen to these guys)
Sepultura
D-FE (excellent African band, African male female duo vocalists, singing in French though, so I guess it's an ex-French colony or something)
God Forbid (almost entirely made up of black dudes, superb band, way better than Trivium)
I think that's it, I'm sure I've missed some but whatever.
In Botswana, you have Crackdust (death metal).
Madagascar : Sasamaso (thrash metal)
Last Rebaelliun (brazil)
Verify bands in Brazil also.
Snowhite/Znowite (ironic name)
Others mentioned above.
I'd be hesitant to call Skindred metal but they do put on a damn good show. Putting them up would surely annoy the anonymous commentator who keeps posting links to ANUS though, so you should probably do it.
There's LOTS of bands I could name with non-white members. I'm not well versed enough in the minefield that is ethnicity in South America to tell you how many bands from there might have black members, I'm guessing there's a few (I'm pretty sure one of the dudes from Sarcofago is mixed race, for example), but the only way to find out would be to trawl band photos on Metal Archives. Hell, I'm sure I don't know what a lot of the more obscure south american thrash and death bands I listen to look like at all.
There's LOADS of Japanese bands as well, of course. Quite a few turks as well, but I know you specifically wanted black.
@Luke-D-FE was an amazing find! That was very refreshing.
@ Master-Znowhite was cool too. Thanks alot and Welcome!
You know what-I actually might make a list of just bands with ethnic people in them in general so any additions would be appreciated.
Keep em' coming if you find any others!
As for female fronted:

“Last time I checked that defintetly wasn't Burzum (sort of an oxymoron if you think of it).”
You can like an art without adhering to the ideals of the artist. Many artists are racist and misanthropic but their arts are good.
Look at the t-shirt

There are many no white people who like Burzum.
You don’t need to request the permission from an artist to appreciate his art. Moreover, lyrics of Burzum aren’t racists.
The lyrics of Windir speak about Viking heritages. You have to be Viking to like Windir ? Yes ?
