Ī number of far-right groups and individuals have utilised the symbol in their propaganda, including the Christchurch mosque shooter Brenton Tarrant and Australian neo-Nazi group Antipodean Resistance, and the symbol was displayed by members of several extremist groups involved in the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia. The book links the Wewelsburg mosaic with the neo-Nazi concept of the "Black Sun", invented by former SS officer Wilhelm Landig as a substitute for the Nazi swastika and a symbol for a mystic energy source that was supposed to renew the Aryan race. The name "Black Sun" came into wider use after the publication of a 1991 occult thriller novel, Die Schwarze Sonne von Tashi Lhunpo ( The Black Sun of Tashi Lhunpo), by the pseudonymous author Russell McCloud. Modern far-right groups often refer to the symbol as the sun wheel or Sonnenrad. The symbol often appears on extremist flags, t-shirts, posters, websites and in extremist publications associated with such groups. In the late 20th century, the Black Sun symbol became widely used by neo-fascist, neo-Nazi, the far-right and white nationalists. An Australian recording of the video has also been found.A leather belt with the black sun symbol as belt buckle.
BLACK HOLE SUN ARCHIVE
Soundgarden was among the artists shown on the block and the early version of the Black Hole Sun video aired on the block and a high-quality recording of the video was uploaded to the Internet Archive on June 26th, 2019, by user UltRadios among other videos shown on the block. In 2017, the Canadian music channel MuchMusic premiered a block called "Much Retro Lunch" that is dedicated to music videos from the 1970s to the late-2000s. Because of the second version of the video looking more finished, the early version of the video was very hard to come by, especially when the music video for the song was uploaded to the band's YouTube channel in 2010, the second version of the video was used. This version would eventually air on MTV and would win the band an MTV Video Music Award for Best Metal/Hard Rock Video and an Clio Award for Alternative Music Video.

This version aired on MTV in June 1994 and would be played for several weeks until a second version of the video was made with shots of the neighborhood getting sucked into the black hole and various shots with the unfinished effects would be fixed to include the missing effects and now the final shot of the video is of the black hole.

Two versions of the video exist, the first version is more low budget and the neighborhood isn't seen getting sucked in the black hole and various shots in the video have unfinished visual effects and the final shot of the video would be a zoom-in on the blue screen. The video depicts the band playing in a open field while a suburban neighborhood with comically exaggerated looks and get swallowed by the sun that turns into a black hole. The band was up to making a video for the song, stating in a 1995 Interview with Spin Magazine "Our take on it was that at that point in making videos, we just wanted to pretend to play and not look that excited about it." and that the video "was entirely the director's (Howard Greenhalgh) idea". A video for the song was made and would be just as famous as the song. It charted at #1 on the Mainstream Rock Charts, #2 on the Alternative Airplay Charts, #9 on the Mainstream Top 40 Charts and #24 on the US Radio Songs Charts and went gold in the UK, Australia and Italy and became the band's most recognizable song.
