Burzum [1] comes to mind, and certainly a lot of British bands from the 1980s right-wing Oi! scene like Skrewdriver [2]. There are a few rappers in Germany who are open white supremacists like MaKss Damage [3]. The entire idea of white supremacist rap/hip hop seems quite absurd to me given the genre's Afro-American heritage, but I guess that I'm putting too much thought into that.

They said "the most in-your-face example", which does not mean niche 80s bands. Furthermore Varg Vikernes (Burzum) is not a white supremacist and he has explained why [1].

The reality is that in popular culture, 'nationalism' is seen as a dirty word, let alone 'white nationalism' (which is often conflated with 'white supremacism'). I don't know of any well-known self-proclaimed white supremacists.
