Band

The band is a pretty straightforward Nazi band. Artworks, titles and lyrics openly reference NSDAP propaganda and symbolism, the band works with NS labels and most of the members have ties to the organized NS scene in Germany and beyond.

As an example, the Artwork of the first album describes the music as ‚Thuringian Aryan Black Metal for white people. 14 Words!‘. The band greets a lot of other NSBM bands in the album credits. The album contains a Burzum coversong, a bonustrack called ‚Swastika‘ (from the ‚Peststurm‘ demo) and guest lyrics by members of the NSBM band Absurd. The cassette edition cover shows a burning synagogue from the November pogroms in 1938.

The band appears on a lot of NS(BM) compilations e.g. on the ‚Blood & Honour Deutschland – Trotz Verbot Nicht Tot‘ (English: ‚Blood & Honour Germany – Banned but not dead‘) sampler, showing their support. Concert photos of the band show vocalist AS wearing B&H merch on stage (e.g. on metal archives). Another examples are the ‚Freundeskreis der heimatverbundenen Germanen‘ NSBM-compilation by Nebelfee Klangwerke and the two ‚Germania Incognita – Kulturkampf‘ NS compilation by Donnerschlag Rex.

In 2019, Ronald Möbus contributed vocals to the band. He owns the NSBM labels Nebelfee Klangwerke or Nebelklang and Robber Baron Enterprises. He is part of the NSBM band Absurd and did guest vocals for the NSBM band Heldenasche (2022). He received a three-year sentence on parole for distributing Nazi insignia in 2003.

Appearances

Live appearances of the band are mostly not open for everyone and not advertised in public, at least not in Germany, which makes them difficult to track. The band and its members are watched quite closely by domestic intelligence in Germany which results in events being cancelled by the police if they are noticed by authorities.

In September 2000, the band played the „Peststurm über Germanien“ concert near Zwickau, Germany, along with Luror, Magog, Heldentum and Eternity. It was organized by the DHF („Deutsche Heidnische Front“, „German heathen front“), an NS-organization founded by Hendrik Möbus (Absurd / Darker Than Black).

On February 28th 2004, the band played a clandestine NSBM show in Abbendorf, Germany, along with Eternity, Magog and Ad Hominem. Security was done by a Neonazi crew called ‚Selbstschutz Sachsen-Anhalt‘ (SS-SA).
