Band history

Rheinwacht was founded in 1993 around REP member, Rock-Nord author and singer Frank Krämer (not identical with the musician from Stahlgewitter and Halgadom ) in Düsseldorf and consisted of former members of the groups Volkstroie and Störkraft . The band was signed to Thorsten Lemmer's Funny Sounds label . Lemmer, the ex-Störkraft-Manager tried to initiate a new right-wing rock label with Funny Sounds and wrote the title song Neue Macht of the first Rheinwacht album, which finally became the label's first release in 1994. According to Lemmer, the album sold several thousand times. Kramer was one of Lemmer's closest confidants. By the time it was dissolved in 2000, the band had recorded a total of nine records.

In addition, there was a project with WM-Blöker together with 08/15 . Lemmer sang himself on the 1994 single , the band played the song Weltmeister '94 , originally from 08/15, in a rock version.

style

After Störkraft, who acted similarly on their last publication, Rheinwacht also tried to serve the right-wing extremist skinhead market, but to reject the attacks by Mölln and Lichtenhagen . A relevant rejection can be found in the piece Valhalla from the debut album. The self-stylization as skinheads disappeared from the first to the last album. The band saw themselves as patriotic and nationalistic .
