Kaiserjäger was a Nazi rock - band from the Italian province of South Tyrol , the early 2000s was active. It became known to the general public after it became public that Philipp Burger , the singer of the band Frei.Wild , and Joachim Bergmeister from Unanastbar were members of this band.
Band history
Kaiserjäger were active in South Tyrol and Austria in the early 2000s and, in addition to singer and guitarist Burger and drummer Bergmeister, consisted of another, unnamed member. In 2000 they released the demo CD Raff dich auf . There is a version with an isosceles Celtic cross on the cover. The sign is common in the white power scene. In an interview with television critic TV at the beginning of 2013, Burger claimed that there was only a copied cover with kuk Kaiserjäger in trenches on it.
The band broke up after a concert on January 13, 2001, which ended in a mass brawl. The background was that Kaiserjäger the Italian skinhead grouping Veneto Fronte Skinheads had invited to a concert. But in advance there were threats from South Tyrolean skinheads. The Veneto Fronte skinheads attacked the South Tyroleans with baseball bats . That same evening, the band members decided to break up the group.
Ideology and controversy
The lyrics of the band were kept pro-Austrian and propagated loyalty to the Austrian emperor. In fact, some media referred to the band as "Austrian". Other texts include the skinhead cult. In the media, the two lines of text "A group of bald people are fighting against it, against wimps like ravers and hippies and punks " and "Heil dem Kaiser, Heil dem Lande, Austria will stand forever" are quoted. In the magazine Punkrock! However, an excerpt from the song Scheiß Gesellschaft was printed in which xenophobic statements were made. There it says: "They will soon immigrate to us, then we will be the foreigners here, then you think back about what we are warning you about today [...] I hate this whole society, these negroes and Yugos , but most of them are settled You are to blame, why do we have this rabble here too! ”The song Südtirol by Frei.Wild, published on the album Where the sun laughs again (2003), is said to come from the times of the Kaiserjäger.
After it became known that Burger had played in the band Kaiserjäger, Burger tried to justify this by denying that it was a Nazi band. He described his early musical endeavors as “a band of three young people who practiced chords in it for nine months. It was about love, friendship and alcohol. "
