Completely out of context? I can see it. It's trash music either way.
I was first introduced to this band with the song "I'm gonna give you AIDS". Definitely not something you'd want to be playing at your wedding.
True. Reggaeton is one of the genres I dislike the most, both lyrically and musically. I feel confident stating there's not a single good song in the entire genre, as far as I'm concerned.
What, are you telling me Pink Floyd didn't really want to exterminate homosexuals, Jewish and black people? But that one song said so...

What is this a reference to again? I vaguely remember this incident.
I'm trying to remember now too. The Sims, maybe?
Could be taken out of context, though, since it's a bunch of men making that sign while a woman is talking.

Yeah Alexander had said something totally stupid and they all made that motion I think.
Well whatever. I stand by my statement.

The peril of doing shock as ironic comedy is if you're inept nobody will be able to tell.

Tenacious D is amazing.
And that someone's E3 conference cost eleventy billion dollars.
They've started showing lyrics again for specific songs but it also mixes in factoids. It's weird but reminds me of having a little Pop-up Video running on my phone.
What a freakin obnoxious person

You forgot 'toxic'.
Also, Angel of Death is one of the best Slayer songs out there.

More like the opposite and that's the point.
It's neither. It's more like "this guy sowed together people's heads? That's pretty metal." There is nothing political or philosophical about the song at all, which is why it's generally considered politically inoffensive; but it's also been taken up by neonazis who think Mengele was awesome. And given that, I can understand why some people would feel uncomfortable about it, regardless of the intentions of the band.
This is what happens when bands who glorify totally metal stuff like brutality and death use WW2 as inspiration. It's all fine when they're singing about Vlad Tepes, but WW2 is a very touchy subject for some people - moreso now than it was in the 80s and 90s - so suddenly these bands end up under the ANTIFA spotlight. And then all kinds of madness ensues.
It was pretty shocking, no question. Had it cranked and the windows were open, can only imagine what the neighbours were thinking if they heard it. My real beef is that if our kids had been at home, "parody band" or not, it's not something I'd want them to hear. People can argue (or in this case mock) the validity of the term "hate speech" ", but either way it's mysoginistic and just plain gross, I'm honestly more people aren't offended by it. We've got three young children, two girls and we're normally pretty aware of the types of media they consume, but Spotify wasn't really on my radar before now. Lesson learned.
Spotify's policy regarding explicit lyrics is pretty clear; and music as a medium often contains lyrics various people might find offensive or inappropriate. This feels like someone being scandalised by a boob while watching HBO.

Yeah that's not even the worst of them. Metals kind of nothing but that. But one thing it's not is Racist. It depicts a bunch of atrocities that went one but not once does AoD mention any racial slurs of sorts towards Jewish people dude.

Honestly I'm more offended that you are so offended by this song than anything and I hate Steel Panther. As a father of 3 awesome kids (2 are in college now) your kids would of survived hearing Steel Panther, but to each their own.
This reminds of a parody band out of Nashville called Birdcloud. They recently had a local show here, and some PC left-wing couple (you know the type of person that other liberals hate, because they give liberals a bad name) made fake calls trying to get the show shut down. They called other venues on the band's tour trying to create a fake outrage. They also have offended conservatives which are way too easy to offend now a days. It was all because of songs like this:
Indianer (a song that makes fun of Southerners, because they all claim to be part Native American)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tzZTyquHcJY&list=RDtzZTyquHcJY
Blackguys (parody song about having sex with...well I think you get it)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=785Vhfh4EUc
Saving Myself For Jesus (see lyrics that made anyone with the last name of Graham stroke out)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M56t7HyI0oA
Honey I feel your bone, I'd rather sit here all alone
Oh honey I feel your bone, I'd rather sit here all alone
You tell me that you love me, don't try and corrupt me
I'm saving myself for Jesus
You can titty-fuck me, Tie me up, dry-hump me
and slap me in the face, I'll even let you call me mommy
He died upon the cross, let me get my point across
My hymen belongs to Jesus
Honey I'll roll over let you poke me in the back door
Oh Honey I'll roll over let you cram it in my back door
I ain't gonna be one of them Mary Magdelene whores
My pussy belongs to Jesus
I ain't going to hell like them sumbitch moslims
the catholics and the jews and osama bin ladens
I aint going to hell like ol' Charlie Manson
Jimmy Carter or the fucking Unibomber
And when we get married then I'll let you pop my cherry
and I'll love you like the devil in our home in Shelbyville
and we'll go up to heaven and we'll meet ol' baby Jesus
you'll be so glad that we waited
you'll be so glad that we waited
Honey I feel your bone

I don't see the problem when they were dope as fuck. Maybe a little bit insensitive in the way you phrased it (the other guy didn't use the language, that was you) but one can appreciate the work of horrible people without supporting what they did with it.

Growing up in the 80's it was the religious right that spouted this bullshit. How in the hell did it turn into liberals doing it?

I've followed this topic since it first came up but... Wow.
We've finally reached the point of our parents/grandparents.
We've finally reached the point of our parents/grandparents.
The whole point of Steel Panther is to parody the over the top sexism of glam metal by cranking it to 110%. It's like Anthony Atamanuik's Trump proclaiming out of nowhere "I am the Beast, and I will kill us all." It's funny because it's gonzo to the point of absurdism.
And obviously that it's a bunch of leather clad, VD-infested Narcissus characters should be all the context to know that no one in their right mind would see them as role model material.
C'mon OP. The fact that this randomly popped up on your Spotify and you didn't realize that it's intentional comedy is kind of sad (and maybe you take glam metal too seriously).
