Sleipnir is the pseudonym of the neo-Nazi songwriter Marco Bartsch (born Laszcz) or the name of the right-wing rock band whose head he represents. The Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution rates it as a right-wing extremist band.
history
The songwriter Marco Bartsch from Verl and Gütersloh - already active in the right-wing extremist music scene since 1988 - performed under the pseudonym Sleipnir from 1991. Around 1998 a three-piece band was founded with two other musicians, Sleipnir was henceforth the band name. This comes from Odin's eight-legged horse Sleipnir from Norse mythology . The band is now known all over Germany and has had several appearances in other European countries, including London and Zagreb . In the meantime, Andreas Koroschetz played drums in the band, but left them and founded Division Germania . Bartsch and the entire band has been active with their own record label Boundless Records and Wolfszeit-Versand since 2003. The band has had a new line-up since mid-2012. In addition to some events in Germany, Sleipnir also performed in countries such as Italy, France and England.
In July 2017 the band performed alongside Stahlgewitter and Die Lunikoff Conspiracy at the Rock Against Foreign Immigration concert in Themar in Thuringia in front of around 6,000 right-wing extremists.
Music style, ideology and meaning
In the beginning, the texts were mainly a mixture of racist elements in connection with social problems and a different degree of reference to National Socialism . Since 2000, Sleipnir have been referring to a large part of Norse mythology. Other recurring themes are friendship, loyalty and a reference to the right-wing extremist scene. After initially releasing songwriter-style ballads, the band now plays rather fast rock music with a "catchy sound" and clearly understandable vocals. The band became known nationally and internationally in the right-wing rock scene through their concert activities. In particular, “Rebellion”, her song for the NPD's schoolyard CD, became one of the most famous songs on the scene.
Sleipnir maintain contacts with representatives of the right-wing extremist network Blood and Honor, which is banned in Germany, and with militant neo-Nazi groups of the Free Comradeships . They appeared several times at NPD events , including the Festival of the Nations .
The rappers Favorite and Hollywood Hank used the refrain of the Sleipnir song Bombe for a track on their 2008 album Beats for Hip Hop .
Publications
Bartsch's first CD with the title Mein bester Kamerad was released in 1996 and was confiscated by the Ulm District Court on April 14, 1998 on the grounds that the songs incited "in inhuman manner against foreigners [...] by degrading them to parasites that do not Have the right to live in Germany ”. On June 30, 2006, it was indexed by the Federal Inspectorate for Media Harmful to Young People.
In 1999 the band released a demo entitled Dasrechte Wort as a split CD with songwriter Patriot 19/8, a member of the Berlin band Germania. The CD was indexed on August 31, 2004.
The band has so far produced 14 CDs and a number of sampler contributions, most of the publications were released on the in-house label.
