Band history

In 1994 Tomáš Hnídek founded Conflict 88. The code 88 is an internationally used symbol for Heil Hitler . The band was close to the Blood & Honor network from the start . The Braň se demo was released in 1996 through their so-called “Division Bohemia ” . . In 1998, the debut album Vrať se k Nám followed on the Scandinavian independent label Nordic Heroes Promotion. In the same year the band played together with Brutal Attack in front of 700 spectators, including some Germans, in their hometown of Pilsen. Since the 1999 album Hra nekončí , all publications have been self-distributed or via the Blood & Honor network.

The band works across borders and works closely with German neo-Nazis. In 2005 the band released a live album that was recorded in Jablonné v Podještědí . In the audience there were numerous Saxon right-wing extremists who had come especially because of the German band Frontalkraft , which also played. In 2007 the band played at the so-called Festival of the Nations together with the German band Sleipnir and the British Brutal Attack . The performance was later marketed as a DVD by the German right-wing rock label PC Records . The “88” has been omitted from the band name on the DVD. In 2009 a split CD with the German band Sachsonia was released , also via PC Records.

After a long break, her last album to date, Zlámaná Křídla , was released in 2015 .

Music style and lyrics

The band, which is still active today, is observed by the Czech domestic intelligence service Bezpečnostní informační služba (BIS) and classified as neo-Nazi. In their lyrics, the band incites against minorities, especially Roma , and glorifies Nazi greats like Rudolf Hess . She supports the international neo-Nazi network Blood & Honor and, among other things, played concerts for the German NPD .
