Honor was a Polish Rock Against Communism (RAC) band. Their lyrical themes are related to national socialism, neopaganism and the white power skinhead movement.{{Cite web|last=Stalhammar|first=Kai Mathias|date=|title=Honor|url=http://www.rusmetal.ru/vae_solis/honor.html|archive-url=|archive-date=|access-date=2020-11-30|website=Russian Metal}} Until 1999, the band played typical RAC, and then moved to pagan metal music. In January 2002, vocalist Mariusz Szczerski was arrested for spreading neo-Nazism and antisemitism. After his death from a car accident in 2005, the band stopped playing. The band reformed in 2015 and has played since, albeit in the previous RAC style.{{Cite web|last=|first=|date=|title=Honor|url=https://www.metal-archives.com/bands/Honor/12789|archive-url=|archive-date=|access-date=2020-10-23|website=Encyclopaedia Metallum: The Metal Archives}} Honor is on the Anti-Defamation League List of Hate Music Groups.{{cite web|last=|first=|date=|title=Bigots Who Rock: an ADL List of Hate Music Groups|url=http://www.adl.org/extremism/bands/bands_country.asp|url-status=dead|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120304031257/http://www.adl.org/extremism/bands/bands_country.asp|archivedate=2012-03-04|accessdate=2016-07-17|website=Anti-Defamation League}}
