All the symbols depicted in the hate symbols database must be evaluated in the context in which they appear. Few symbols represent just one idea or are used exclusively by one group. For example, 100% is often used as an amount or an expression and it is also used by some white supremacists as shorthand for "100% white." Similarly, other symbols in this database may be significant to people who are not extreme or racist. The descriptions here point out significant multiple meanings but may not be able to relay every possible meaning of a particular symbol.
Group Status: Legacy (the group is no longer active, but some symbols may remain as tattoos, graffiti, etc.)
Bound for Glory is the name of a longstanding white power music band (dating back to 1989) from Minneapolis. It is popular among white supremacists. The main symbol associated with the band is a Thor's Hammer containing the band's initials. Also common are the band's initials in or superimposed over an Iron Cross. Both images derive from albums released by the group. As of 2025, the band may be inactive or defunct, though fans still listen to its music.
The phrase "bound for glory" is a relatively common phrase that can easily be used in non-racist circumstances, so the phrase should always be analyzed in its specific context.
