Faustrecht was a German right-wing rock band from Swabia .

Band history

The band Faustrecht was founded in Mindelheim in 1994 as the house band of the Skinheads Allgäu organization, which was banned from 1996 . Parts of the band were also active in the organization Blood and Honor , which was banned from 2000 . In 1996 the demo outlawed was recorded. Towards the end of the year the cassette was confiscated by the Kempten District Court , and in 1999 the Kempten District Court also decided on confiscation after a process lasting several years. The members of Fox and were in the process of sedition charged, but acquitted. In 2000 the album was also indexed . The first albumBlood, sweat and tears followed in 1997 on the label Pühse's list . The album was indexed in 2000. In 1999 the album Socialism or Death followed and in 2002 the in-house production Klassekampf . Then the group broke up for a short time.

Around 2003 parts of the original line-up around singer “Nogge”, guitarist “Pep” and bassist “Michi” came together again and from 2006 also played live, including in 2007 at a Belgian right-wing rock festival in honor of Ian Stuart , the late singer of Skrewdriver and founder of Blood and Honor . At this appearance in front of around 700 right-wing rock fans, Hitler greetings were shown several times and “ Sieg Heil ” or “Hail Victory” shouts were heard .

In 2005 a split CD was released with the band SPQR from Italy . In 2006 the CD Blick zurück vorwärts followed on their own label Conflict Records and Rebel Records and in 2008 Das Recht zu hate via Old School Records.

The band performed regularly at Blood and Honor concerts abroad, for example in Finland in 2012, in France in 2013 and in the United Kingdom in 2014.

The band announced their breakup on their website in spring 2018.

Ideology and reception

The band members are and were members of numerous right-wing extremist organizations and are part of the driving force of the Swabian skinhead scene. The first albums were clearly anti-Semitic and racist . On the debut album in the song FGB, for example, the Jews were accused of Freemasonry and world conspiracy, and they were blamed for the outbreak of World War II . On the sound carriers there is a gear that was a symbol of the National Socialist German Labor Front .

Over the years the band became more moderate. The newer recordings are oriented towards Europe and are based on the strategy of the New Right . Among other things, a strong anti-capitalism and anti-communism can be seen in the texts. The texts are also written in several languages, including English, Italian and Spanish. There is no fear of contact with the punk scene, but there is a cover version of the song Crucified as a tribute to Agnostic Front (the song is originally from Iron Cross ). In addition, the group tries to use album titles such as class struggle and socialism or death to occupy topics that tend to be left-wing. Nevertheless, outside of Germany (such as at the festival mentioned above) the group continues to express itself in the old style. Faustrecht were represented on several issues of the NPD - Schulhof CD .

With around 100 appearances in the national and international context, Jan Raabe , who is considered an expert on right-wing rock , counts Faustrecht as "one of the most important and most active bands of the extreme right". The band is committed to the so-called skinhead way of life to this day (as of 2014) and, in Raabe's opinion, is “now a specialty in the extreme right-wing music scene” that has otherwise broken away from this subculture in recent years .

The Bavarian Ministry of the Interior has repeatedly classified Faustrecht as an active right-wing extremist band, most recently in February 2018.

Other member projects

The bassist / songwriter of the group is a member of the Viennese right-wing rock band Schlachthaus , which was also featured on a schoolyard CD . A former guitarist was a member of the neo-Nazi band Pork Hunters .
