Saga is a Swedish neo-Nazi singer/songwriter. She first appeared on the scene as the female vocalist on the Symphony of Sorrow project, but has since become well known with her Skrewdriver tribute CD's. She has released three 'Tribute to Screwdriver' albums after Ian Stuart's death. In 2001, the Southern Poverty Law Center listed Saga as a Swedish "white power rock" singer. [1] Saga was on the front cover of the Fall 2000 edition of Resistance Magazine, a Neo-Nazi publification. [2]

The Discovery Times Channel described Saga as a star that "targets the mainstream by softening her image, while still maintaining her racist ideology." Saga has been described as the "Swedish Madonna of the far right." In an interview with the Discovery Times, Saga said, "What makes me different is I think that I'm a lot more mainstream looking in that I'm very much toned down compared to the other ones." She continues, "It's not in your clothes. It's not in the way you dress. It's not in your appearance. It's what's in your heart. It's a lot easier for the mainstream public to see themselves in me, then to see themselves in a Skinbird." According to Saga, "Personal experiences has made me feel the way I do, and most people do have the same beliefs that I do. It's a bad thing to be labeled a racist these days, and it's such a bad thing that people rather shut up then express what they feel. I'm just trying to say that I don't want people that's not like me around me." [3]

Shaun Walker wrote the following at the website for the National Alliance, a US white power advocacy group: "... 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." [4]
