Band

The band is Germanys most known NSBM band and pretty clear about that in regards of lyrics, artwork, collaborations etc. They reduced the clear symbolism over the years but that is probably more because of the criminal records of the members than due to ideological changes. The band plays and organizes NS events, sells NS merch and music and has connections to Nazi organizations in Germany, Ukraine, Italy and the US.

The band appears on countless NS samplers, e.g. on the ‚Blood & Honour Deutschland – Trotz Verbot Nicht Tot‘ (English: ‚Blood & Honour Germany – Banned but not dead‘) sampler, showing their support for B&H. Another example is the ‚Freundeskreis der heimatverbundenen Germanen‘ NS-compilation by Nebelfee Klangwerke or the ‚Germania Incognita – Kulturkampf‘ NS-compilations by Donnerschlag Rex.

The band split up in 2012. There are currently two incarnations of this band active, one led by Hendrik Möbus (since 2017) and one led by Sven Zimper (since 2019).
