Apparently they made up a band t-shirt and a patch covered jacket and then either

H&M invented an underground black/thrash metal record label complete with fake bands/recordings/backstories

or someone making fun of them did

I like the theory about the Moonsorrow lad making it up for laughs, rather than him being paid to help shill it. MetalSucks etc have been all over this today, noting that a couple of the bands use Nazi imagery:

Which is either someone taking the piss, or a colossal fuckup. H&M have been selling Metallica and Slayer shirts, so the 'taking the piss' theory seems closer to the truth, although it's a pretty darn convoluted way of doing it...
