No and not because of politics but because the music is generic crap that all sounds the same.
RAC is no different from some shitty suburban pop punk band making generic riot grrl anthems about evil white males and donald drumpf. Shit music that's just a vehicle for political ideology first and foremost rather than focusing on the music.
Jason Roberts
Metal is shitty and RAC never produced a worthwhile album.
Jeremiah Phillips
Rock Identitaire Français (RIF) is a rather curious circle of France's Nationalist musicians. Eschewing the overt Fascist sympathies from their skinhead peers a decade earlier, RIF rocked against Americanism and multiculturalism on grounds of national and cultural identity.
Vae Victis has some fascinating credentials such two of their members' previous connection to Ultime Assaut and prominently featuring a female vocalist. Their music blends Celtic themes with hard riffs and folksy instrumentation. The album is a thoroughly fun affair in spite of being somewhat predictable.
The opening track begins with all-too-familiar epic yet whimsical motifs that would sound more at home scoring the opening scene to a forgotten '90s high fantasy RPG. The progressions feel tacked on for the sake of genre aesthetics, but they set the tone for the rest of the EP. All the songs are of an enjoyable length that don't overstay their welcome.
The songwriting here all compliment the themes established by the music. As you would've surmised, our title track is a tribute to the Frankish King who successfully unified all the tribes under one ruler. "La Dame du Lac" goes into Arthurian territory. The sole overtly political track here is "Résistant Gaélique," pleading for a ceasefire between the Irish Nationalists and Ulster Loyalists. Although I do not speak a word of French, our vocalist Carine conveys these lyrics wonderfully with her angelic voice.
The highlight here is the title track with its energetic riffs that convey the narrative. All the other tracks here are much softer and emotive. In the end, you're left yearning for more, but the band provides the satisfying introductory experience for those seeking Nationalist Celtic Rock.

Loads of good RAC exists.

Nouvelle Croisade has quite a bit of history in Paris's skinhead scene. The band started in 1984 as Malades Mentales before changing their name to Donald Doc. I can only presume the band in those days were apolitical, because after meeting up with the boys behind Légion 88 in 1987, they became Nouvelle Croisade. The band hit the studio and recorded five songs, two of which were released as a single and the other three appearing on Debout Vol. 3. Their guitarist Bruno would later join Alain and company to record Thulé. Around that time, the band called it quits with the drummer Thierry joining Ultime Assaut and then 9ème Panzer Symphonie.
Everything ever recorded, from demos to the studio sessions, would make it to this nifty compilation. Unlike the crude drawings or photographs gracing the covers of most Rebelles Européens's releases, Nouvelle Croisade features a well-rendered illustration of a sword and flag-bearing Teutonic knight standing over a slain Saracen. Thankfully, the production values are a step up from most of their countrymen's records. The guitar sounds beefy with a bit of reverb driving the footstomping rhythms. Everything is balanced, so no instrument is mixed too loud or soft. The biggest drawback here is our lead vocalist, who has that intoxicated off-key moan quite like Robert from Ultime Assaut. God bless you if you can stand his "belting." On this compilation are a few demo songs that didn't make it to the studio.
Fans of French RAC will enjoy this document of the Paris skinhead scene.

Skrewdriver is the only RAC band I know of with any merit. Maybe Youth Defense League and Combat 84 if you consider them RAC. Otherwise its all trash.

To answer your question, you'd have to be a severe twat to hate "Hail the New Dawn", "Boots and Braces" or "Blood and Honour".

Cock Sparrer's pretty good but Skrewdriver was way better. People that have only heard a few first-wave Oi bands usually haven't actually heard anything afterward, regardless of whether or not it's RAC. If you want some specific albums (though I doubt you'll listen to them anyway):
Evil Skins - Une Force, Une Cause, Un Combat
Arresting Officers - Patriotic Voice
Endstufe - Der Clou
Skrewdriver's first 2 albums, Boots & Braces comp

I've always had some serious misgivings with Slavic RAC. Not only do most fail to stand out from their Western European brethren, Slavic accents do the music no favors, especially when they try to sing in English; cringe! These flaws prevent me from enjoying the big names from the Slavlands. Prior to finding "Triumf," I hardly thought Buldok an exception. Their debut lacked any memorable character and every proceeding album sounds gratingly dirgelike. For some fucking reason, they decided to cover "The Strong Survive" at Reverend Bizarre's tempo on the following album. That being said, the band managed to do as much right as they could producing this album.
The skinhead Hard Rock sound of yore was absconded in favor of an epic-style Heavy Metal that sounds surprisingly American; think Manowar or Dokken. The band still manages to sound fresh in spite of some stiff competition. The songs follow an anthemic mid to uptempo verse-chorus structure with a couple of brooding power ballads. Featuring this horribly as out-of-place as out-of-tune saxophone that cracks me up is "Mission: Spandau," which wouldn't sound out of place on Sunset Strip given the production values and guitar tone.
The biggest sticking point would be our vocalist. His obvious trouble with English can be heard in his awkward annunciation and overemphasis on the first syllable of each word. At times, it can take you out of the moment and make you chuckle (ie: "white power" in the opening track), but in other places, you end up cringing. His most evocative performances are in his native Czech. The closing track features a male and female duet over a brooding acoustic power ballad that bookends the album nicely.
Those seeking a white power epic reminiscent of Cult of the Holy War would do themselves a favor seeking this out.

Most of the time, thug-ass peckerwood Hardcore either lacks the bite necessary to leave a lasting impression or falls flat on its face and ends up sounding unintentionally or unremittingly cringeworthy. These common problems have prevented me from enjoying much of the self-styled Hatecore that became popular with American Skinheads after Ian Stuart's death.
"We've Come For War" is one of those rare albums that knocks you to the floor by the force of its sheer power and overwhelms you with rapture. These Florida skinheads are every Hollywood trope of Neo-Nazis on steroids: bald, flabby-chested rednecks inked everywhere with horrendous tattoos who threaten anyone shy of "Aryan," shouting slurs and White Nationalist slogans at every given opportunity. The music here is strictly influenced by old school RAC and American Hardcore. All the songs run decent lengths that rarely overstay their welcome.
The album's use of samples work at times, but can also seem tacked on to build tension. "Ape Slayers and Kike Killers" features an unjustifiably long sample from Mississippi Burning that ultimately did nothing. In-between all the movie samples are some fierce riffs and catchy hooks that'll have you shouting along. The polished production lends the guitar tone a beefy sound pummeling you with its power chords.
The highlights come from our vocalist James and the vulgar, racist lyrics he shouts. He demonstrates such prowess with his furious voice reminiscent of a rabid molosser. The coherency in his voice only punctuates his convictions. Unlike many RAC bands who underplay their racism, this band relishes in their slurs. They make no bones how they feel about Jews, blacks, homosexuals and miscegenators and tell them in the bluntest terms possible.

>So many RAC bands went from punk to metal when the 90s rolled around. Its almost like most of them care more about recruiting than they do the music they make...
Not necessarily. Some did hop on trends, but others were Metal from the outset. Makes more sense to form a different band for a different sound.
Perhaps the biggest trendhopper was Bound For Glory. They completely absconded their archetypical Oi!/Hard Rock sound for Metal. Even so, they managed to do it extremely well.
RaHoWa likewise became a Type O Negative clone on "Cult of the Holy War."
Fortress's Oi! albums always sounded pretty heavy, so a change to Metal was predictable given the heaviness of their sound.
You could also argue Frakass "abandoned" their sound, but they came to the scene so late, it hardly counts.
As for others...
Bomber's demos and first album was consistently Metal. They changed their sound later on.
Berserkr was originally Midtown Bootboys, but after some members went to jail, Berserkr formed in the ashes to pick up where they left off.
Excalibur formed out of the ashes of Diktátor.
Estirpe Imperial always blended Oi! with Metal in the beginning, so I'd be hardpressed to call them changing their sound.

Andrew Long
Not true.
Rock 'n' roll derived from rhythm and blues which itself derived from Jazz. Entirely ignoring that the direct innovators of Rock 'n' Roll and Rock were black (Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Bo Diddley, Roy Brown, etc) it's genetically derived from black music, literally the epitome of entartete kunst. It's so obvious from the crass and simplistic sound that it is no pure invention of the Aryan mind.
You're deluding yourself if you think otherwise so, if you enjoy it you're a degenerate enabler, so please try listening to some of the pure music in my post to educate yourself on the music of the master race.

Decking the cover is a crude illustration of an Arno Breker statue raising a sword in front of a blazing silhouette and some classical architecture.
Characteristic of most releases from Rebelles Européens, gritty reverbed rhythms drive the music like their fellow countrymen Légion 88 or Chauves Pourris. The songs here are consistently midtempo and have a strangely ethereal quality which ends up soundling like a French version of "Second Empire Justice" by Blitz. The mostly Oi! A-side is a complete drag, and all too many songs string you along with a few neat intros, but then drag you down in the conventional third-rate Oi! you're tired of hearing.
The music becomes much more interesting when the album delves deeper into Post-Punk on the B-side. The closer "L.V.F." has some neat Ska strokes while "Chômeur 80" bursts forward with Hardcore energy. Unlike the French pirate vocals of Légion 88's Alain or Kontingent's Laurent, Robert has this intoxicated, off-key moan which ranges from tolerable to grating. "Segneur Barbare" is perhaps his best performance since he keeps it at a volume just above a whisper. The instrumentation helps, too.

On another note...
Casual listeners hastily assume Prog Rock is an apolitical genre (of course, the more informed listener knows better, especially when considering the Rock in Opposition movement) but Italy's own Progressive scene thought differently. Some of the prominent bands from the more avant-garde wing of their Progressive music scene strongly affiliated themselves with communism, most famously Area and the Stormy Six, but others on the furthest fringes of the genre sang from entirely different hymn sheet. You know, Fascism.
Janus, formerly Janum, were affiliated to the Neo-Fascist MSI party, regularly playing live at their amusingly-named "Hobbit Camps," named after the musician fellowship's shared interest in Tolkien. The band's history is somewhat turbulent. Most of the original copies of their album were destroyed in a fire at the only bookstore bold enough to sell their work. Their original guitarist was even killed in a political riot the year this album was released.
Recorded on a low budget, Al Maestrale sounds a little crummy in terms of production so doesn't come close to matching the Mussolinian bombast of Museo Rosenbach's Nietzschean masterwork Zarathustra. But the rawness of this recording is certainly a nice antidote to the slew of self-consciously 'pretty' bands who had sprung up in the scene. There are notably few symphonic influences, opting instead for a folk-tinged fuzzy hard rock style, not a world away from the early Black Widow. And some of the guitar playing on here is very mean indeed!
When it feels like there are few genuine obscurities in Prog left, it's nice to have something like this still out there, and the political affiliations gives this band a dangerous edge a lot of Prog admittedly lacks.

Carré.Ladich.Marchal was a project conceived by singer/lyricist Olivier Carré and multi-instrumentalist Jack Marchal, both of whom were active in the French Nationalist movements. With the help of Janus's mastermind Mario Ladich on drums, the men went to work at Ladich's studio in Rome and recorded "Science & Violence" in just two days before releasing it independently. Olivier Carré sadly met his in 1994 in a motorcycle accident.
Sung entirely in French by Carré, "Science & Violence" earns its distinction as being the psychedelic foil to Pink Floyd. Influenced by some of France's notable Prog Rock acts from that era, the material is quite original, combining the psychedelic influences with theatrical lyrics, rockin' grooves and some soaring keyboards in a charming package. The spacey synthesizers, screeching guitars and French narration wouldn't sound out of place on a Pulsar record whereas other sections are more raw with abrasive electric riffs and acoustic flourishes. Some of the music is characterized by soft electric moves and over-the-top singing lines, surrounded by mellow keyboard themes, building a slight psychedelic atmosphere, which will eventually explode into lovely, melodic soloing with a discreet symphonic base. There are also sporadic, harder runs with the guitars in evidence and an electrified atmosphere.
Plans for a sophomore release were never completed, but two tracks recorded for the album made it to the 1997 reissue on CD. Sadly, the Prog Rock which made their music memorable was absconded for some sort of Minimal Wave/Minimal Synth. While competent, neither song is half as catchy as The Final Sound's "Genetics." Still, there are few genuine obscurities in Prog Rock left, so it's nice to have something like this still out there, and the political affiliations gives this band a dangerous edge most of Prog admittedly lacks.
