Odem was a right-wing rock band from the greater Stuttgart area , founded in 1997 and mentioned in the 2004 report for the protection of the constitution in Baden-Württemberg. Odem is the successor to Carpe Diem, which was reactivated in 2005 after Odem was dissolved.
history
Odem was founded in 1997 in the greater Stuttgart area and in 1998 published a first song contribution to the sampler Kampflieder for May 1st , a production by the right-wing extremist Young National Democrats. When there were personal differences between the members of Carpe Diem in the summer of 2001, the band decided to release their guitarist, who was previously active at Noie Values , from the band. In 2003, the three remaining band members for the band Odem recorded their only album Out of Nowhere and released it in July on Triple Elf Records. In interviews with scene-related magazines and websites such as keinehaare.com or White Victory , they justify the expulsion and the re-establishment with the fact that the band Carpe Diem was too focused on their former guitarist. Since he also wrote large parts of the music, uncertainty was expressed as to whether everything came from his pen or whether some plagiarism was practiced. With Odem, however, each of the band members should be able to contribute their part. After a few concerts and only one album, there were further differences among the band members in 2005, which then led to the dissolution. Singer Ralf left the band in order to continue to be musically active in the hardcore punk field . The two remaining band members reactivated the band Carpe Diem together with the former singer from Division Staufen . According to their own statement, there should have been Odem before the band Carpe Diem was founded, but apart from the sampler contribution from 1998, there are no CD releases.
Significance in the right-wing extremist scene
Odem received a lot of attention in the right-wing extremist scene due to their previous history with Carpe Diem, but their music is not regarded as "usual right-wing music", as the lyrics are mostly only colored systematically and socially critical. Neither of the individual band members is active in right-wing networks. In an interview with White Victory magazine, issue 2/2004, you intentionally kept your distance from the party politics of the NPD.
"Also just a party that repeatedly deliberately or unintentionally sidelined and allowed itself to be sidelined. Since party politics is as interesting as the pollen report and anything but honest, we can be hunted down with it anyway. "
In an interview on www.keinehaare.com, the band members mention that they specifically only want to be musically active.
"We speak for ourselves and for no one else - just as no movement or initiative can speak for us."
Out of nowhere
The album Out of Nowhere was released in July 2003 on Triple Elf Records. Nevertheless, it is also sold by other right-wing record companies in their own online shop. The 13 songs contained on it have hardly any right-wing background, they focus more on criticism of the system and on social issues.
Text examples:
- Peace through War , which was also published on the school playground CD Der Schreck der aller Pfießer und Pauker 2005, refers to the Iraq war. The politics of George W. Bush as well as their views of democracy are criticized. In an interview, the band stated that the USA was trying to pull the world's population on their side after the 9/11 attacks and to justify military offensives. Accordingly, this song was written. The song only turns against the US, whose “pursuit of power, money and maximum profits” is criticized. War in general is not objected to. Here, left positions are instrumentalized by the right-wing rock group. However, the "anti-capitalist social criticism" glorified National Socialism.
- in the case of insomnia , the topic of child abuse is addressed. Singer Claudia, who was hired for this song, sings about the mental anguish a child has to go through after being sexually abused. This song was composed deliberately ballad-like and is therefore quieter than other songs on the album.
