Moshpit is a right-wing extremist metalcore band from Altenburg in Thuringia, founded in 2001 .
history
The group was founded in 2001 and today consists of the musicians of the bands Brainwash , Kreuzfeuer , Sharon Tate , Hope for the Weak, Voice of Justice, Eternal Bleeding and Bloody Memory. The group has so far released a split CD with Path of Resistance from Rostock and One Family (2008), a split CD with Forbidden , Total War and Attack as well as Mirror of an Unbroken Faith (2007) and We Carry the Heart (2012) two albums, all of which were released via OPOS Records . In addition, the group could be heard several times on the schoolyard CDs distributed by the NPD . OPOS Records was set up to distribute the band's CDs. In the meantime, the label has found several bands that are active in the right-wing scene.
Large became famous for the Hatecore as a subgenre of hardcore punk in Germany in 2004 with the release of the split CD with Path of Resistance as a Nazi Hardcore.
The band even played with Brainwash in 2009 at the US right-wing rock festival "Uprising". In 2008 the band played at the Festival of the Nations . The band often plays with Brainwash concerts in Moscow , Russia . Since its inception, the group has given around 40 concerts, some of which have also taken place abroad . According to the Federal Agency for Civic Education , Moshpit is considered a "nationwide known and sought-after hardcore band in Germany".
Originally, Moshpit was supposed to be a side project of the Aryan R. group .
Band name and lyrics
The musicians chose the band name "Moshpit" because it is a term from the hardcore punk scene.
The piece Ihr oder wir , which appeared in 2010 and 2011 as part of the Schulhof-CDs project , describes an alleged manipulation of the people by unknown forces with the aim of securing rule. The group also tries to win over non-political and left-oriented listeners, even if the group locates itself in the right-wing scene in the piece. The text should convey that both right and left have a common enemy, which is to be made known in the further course of the text. The band conveys the message that they reject the left-right scheme and instead choose a “ national revolutionary third path”. The piece also shows that Moshpit not only deals with the construction of the problem, but also shows options for action in an anti-Semitic way: the musicians have recognized and exposed the supposed enemy.
The texts are otherwise written in English . Due to the use of traditional hardcore elements and the partly English-language lyrics, the group is difficult to classify into the right-wing extremist scene when you first listen to it. The musicians themselves try to avoid being classified as a right-wing extremist band by describing their music as “critical of the system and revolutionary”. In contrast to the racist women's organization Women for Aryan Unity from the United States , the musicians testified that they would “play and live Nazi hardcore”.
