Bound for Glory is an American right-wing rock / metal band from Minnesota . She is one of the oldest and most influential of this genre in the USA.

Band history

Bound for Glory was founded in 1989 by guitarist Ed Wolbank. The first appearance took place at the second Aryan Fest by Tom Metzger ( White Aryan Resistance ). After Bound for Glory had released three albums on the German label Rock-O-Rama , members of the band first founded the label Bound for Glory Productions, which was later bought by Panzerfaust Records in order to connect to the booming right-wing rock market in the USA find, and thus entered into competition with Resistance Records and Tri-State Terror, which previously dominated the market. The band was known to tour a lot and also play abroad. The first concerts in Germany took place in 1996 and 1997. From 1990 to 2002 the group recorded ten studio and two live albums as well as various other recordings. In 2011 the album Feed the Machine was released , which was released by the German label PC Records .

ideology

Bound for Glory is close to the Hammerskin network, Ed Wolbank was for a time the leader of the Hammerskins in Saint Paul (Minnesota) . In contrast to older right-wing extremist organizations such as the National Alliance, the members prefer a kind of “ leaderless resistance ” modeled on Combat 18 . The band is internationally oriented, projects with the Australian Fortress and the German power amplifier under the name Grenadier and a project with the British Brutal Attack under the project name Bound for Attack have emerged. The members also play in the metal band Before God , in the thrash and death metal band Plunder & Pillage , and in the death metal band West Wall .

reception

Bound for Glory are one, if not the most influential American right-wing rock band. With the numerous projects and concerts abroad, the group was organized internationally, and in some cases also active in international sales of legal rock. In 1998 investigators revealed that guitarist Ed Wolbank was involved in the pressing of the Landser album Rock gegen Oben . With their hard, metal- based music style (their album Behold the Iron Cross was compared in Nordic Vision with the early Slayer albums and Exodus ) and the projects Before God and Plunder & Pillage, the group acts as an interface to extreme, racist metal Scene , even more so than was the case with the hard rock style of music of the late Skrewdriver.
