Jim responded in the black box that I believe 3 things:
1. The band in question, Area, is opposed to fascism, not in support of it. I did some web research in an attempt to confirm this, and while I wouldn't bet my life on it, I do believe it is so.
2. The music is too good to be removed without a strong reason.
3. Artistic and logistic integrity is compromised by changing the title.
I asked for further opinions, and Poda was basically in support of my beliefs.
One further thought, I believe that not removing the song/album (which has the same title) is a tiny, small step towards erasing the stain of Nazism by not allowing their sociopathic actions to force us to remove a combination of words from our vocabulary.
(Oh, and if I thought the band was pro-nazi, I'd have removed them in their entirety without asking for opinions. If that would have been censorship, so be it.)
