Saga is a Swedish white nationalist singer-songwriter. She started as the vocalist for Symphony of Sorrow, but has since become known for her tribute CDs to the band Skrewdriver and her solo projects, promoting white nationalism and anti-Marxism.

Biography

Saga was featured on the front cover of the Fall 2000 edition of Resistance Magazine, a United States neo-Nazi publication. Shaun Walker of the National Alliance, a United States white power advocacy group, wrote: "... just having her in front of the camera helps our Cause. But, she also is quite good at interviews. She comes across as the girl-next-door, who also understands the dynamics of racial conflict."
Saga and her music were mentioned by Anders Behring Breivik in the compendium that he e-mailed to 1,003 addresses about 90 minutes before he detonated a bomb in Oslo on July 22, 2011. He referred to her as "the world's best and most talented English speaking patriotic musician". In response to this, Saga posted an official statement on her website condemning Breivik's actions, saying "It has come to my attention that my music has been cited... as going some way to inspiring one of the most vile and criminal acts in recent history. I cannot begin to describe how saddened I am to hear that and wanted to inform you all of my shock and utter horror at such an atrocity." In an interview with ethnomusicologist Benjamin R. Teitelbaum following Breivik's attacks, Saga added, "What I want is for people to listen to my music and go, ‘Oh, she feels the same. I’m not alone.’ My music should be an option for normal people who feel that there is something wrong, but they don’t have to go out and get punched in the nose for it."
