H8Machine [ ˈheɪt məˈʃiːn ] is an American right-wing rock and hatecore band from New Jersey . They are one of the few straight-edge bands in the extreme right-wing music scene in the United States.

history

H8Machine come from the US state New Jersey . The name is a play on words: the "8" is pronounced as a number ( eight ); With the preceding “H”, the word “Hate” (hatred) arises phonetically, in sum “Hate Machine”, in German about “Hassmaschine”. The band emerged from the group Dying Breed and released their debut album Cheated in 2001 on Panzerfaust Records . In 2002 the band played at the Hammerfest of the Swiss Hammerskins in front of around 1,200 Naziskins. Hardcore for Life followed in 2004 , also on Panzerfaust Records (re-released in 2008 on the German label Gjallarhorn Klangschmiede ), and in 2007 One Less Reason to Smile on Free Your Mind Productions. The band participated with the song Cheated in the first so-called project schoolyard CD of the Free Comradeships . At the end of the 2010s, the band mainly consisted of singer Dennis, who was responsible for the music and lyrics. He only got together with the other members of the band for live concerts.

ideology

H8Machine is at the forefront of the US Hatecore movement and is close to the Hammerskins, whose emblems they display on various sound carriers. It sees itself not only as a pure music band, but also as an ideological role model. Rainer Fromm quoted the band in an article for the Federal Testing Office for Media Harmful to Young People about the Nazi hardcore scene with the following words:

“Music is movement !!! If it wasn't for music, there would be no concerts, without concerts there would be no getting together, without getting together there would be no bond. Music brings the message from one corner to the other. Without music the scene wouldn't exist anymore and it wouldn't be as big as it is now! "

- H8 Machine : quoted from Rainer Fromm

The band relies on modern social criticism instead of traditional right-wing rock themes and thus tries to integrate a new clientele into the right-wing extremist movement.
