Hideous Gnosis, which was the collection of essays that had that particularly infamous quasi-Hegelian tract by Liturgy about a black metal manifesto, has an essay that examines NS in black metal. I'm not sure what leads you to believe it would be difficult for academics to take what politicized nsbm presents at face-value. Ecology is also examined both from left and right perspectives. Eminently left considering cascadian black metal of the early '10s was basically tree-hugging forest metal with an explicitly ecological bent; it's hard to see the nth cascadian album with trees and mountains on the cover and think otherwise. Eminently right because of all the blood and soil stuff.
>Wolves in Throne Room offer what has been called a ‘deep ecometal’ (Davis), and articulate a pagan and ecological world-view which is not without its own political equivocations. In fact, Famine picks up this point by noting to the interviewer that ‘Ecologism was born in an extreme right-wing context … as part of the völkish concept (the inseparable unity between folk and land, a land which should be protected as much as revered) and, more controversially, that ‘it is only later on that left-wing groups unjustly monopolized ecologistic positions’ (Famine, Travis interview).
