Saccara is a metal and right-wing rock band from Meppen .

Band history

The band Saccara was founded in 1986 by cousins Daniel (vocals and bass), Norbert (guitar) and Matthias (drums), who were 16 years old at the time. The name used was the city name of the Egyptian city of the dead, Saqqara . In 1987 the first demo Ketchup Metal was created , at that time the group played German-speaking Fun Metal in the style of AOK. The second demo lid up - Der Kaffee kocht secured the group a contract with Metal Enterprises . The debut album Urbi et Orbi was released in 1990 and got by without political texts. In 1990 two songs appeared on Sampler 6 for Germany together with Böhse Onkelz , AOK, SpringtOifel , Boots & Braces and Kahlkopf .

Then the group played another demo under the title Hoch das Bein, the fatherland should live . This already showed the first right-wing extremist tendencies with clear titles such as race war and I am a German . The album The Last Man was released again through Metal Enterprises , which musically can be clearly located in right-wing rock . It was indexed on November 30, 1994 . Of the 16 tracks that were created in collaboration with Kahlkopf, “10 pieces were rejected as 'questionable' by the record company”. Otherwise, according to their own statements, “everything is more or less legal”.

In 1995 the two albums Sturmfest und erderwachsen (an allusion to the Lower Saxony song ) and Saccara, your friend + helper , were released, which again focused more on funny lyrics. Nevertheless, there are also some anti-Semitic texts, such as Wilhelm Busch's Die pious Helene and Plisch and Plum :

"And the Jew 'with a crooked nose, crooked heel and crooked pants', meanders to the high purse, deeply depraved and soulless ... eyes black and soul gray, hat to the back, expression smart ... That's Schmulchen Schnievelbeiner [ sic !] - more beautiful is ours "

- quoted from: Landschaftsverband Westfalen-Lippe (Ed.) : Communications from the State Youth Welfare Office. March 2000, p. 37

Giese then founded Stahlgewitter and Saccara was quiet. Presumably, in addition to Giese, other Saccara members were also involved in the Zillertaler Türkenjäger project. However, this could not be proven to anyone, the proceedings against Giese were discontinued in 2005.

In 2001 Saccara returned with the CD Weltvergifter , which mainly contains anti-Semitic and anti-Americanist texts and whose cover is reminiscent of caricatures from the anti-Semitic newspaper Der Stürmer . Photos by Karl Dall , Rudolph Moshammer and Dave Dudley are printed in the CD booklet .

The group also participated in numerous related compilations. Furthermore, the band members had founded a meanwhile inactive shipping company called Furor Teutonicus in Meppen, which offered numerous right-wing rock productions and scene clothing.

meaning

As a metal band, Saccara was of little importance and was just one of the numerous crossover bands between Thrash Metal and Grindcore. The debut was panned in the Metal Hammer : Martin Groß described the band as “another signing of the adventurous Ingo Nowotny, who apparently wants to sound out the best way to turn dirt into money. With projects like Saccara I can imagine that he lets them run under depreciation. ”The“ usual garbage production ”and the“ important thoughts about your digestive problems ”would give“ cause for joy ”, the“ street German ”was“ almost worse [...] than that of the Dimple Minds . […] What the boys have done is nothing more than an absolutely stupid, cramped, funny-looking record, the purpose of which is to attract attention with provocative texts in order to finally reach the demand-promoting index for writings harmful to young people. ”Instead of Gross gave a minus point in the Metal Hammer standard rating of one to seven points. Despite the slap, the band advertised their eleven years of existence in a classified ad in the magazine, in which they described Saccara as "music for connoisseurs + connoisseurs" and asked them to request their new list via their mailbox in Meppen. The site The thrash metal guide , however, "not too bad" described the album as and compared it to Rumble Militia and DRI

With the change to the right-wing rock band, Saccara and Kahlkopf developed into the figurehead of the Metal Enterprises label, which tried to jump on the right- wing rock band with the Böhse-Onkelz hype and had a suitable distribution network thanks to its good connections to Bellaphon Records . The band's more metal-oriented right-wing rock also served as a link between the right-wing extremist scene and the metal scene . The music, which was amateurish at the beginning, did not meet with approval "for many years either in one or the other scene". The group was received more in right-wing skinhead circles and opened up the scene for long-haired people thanks to their appearance and their clear texts.
