Sound disturbance

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Tonstören was a German right-wing rock band that was founded in 1989 in the Mannheim area. Members of the group were due to hate speech in court.

Band history

The band was founded in 1989 around front man Thomas Muncke. The first demo Schöne Welt was released in 1990, the debut album of the same name followed in 1991 as the first release on the Walzwerk Records label by the Walz brothers from the band Boots & Braces .

The five members of the band stood in 1993 between the ages of 18 and 21 for sedition, incitement to racial hatred , depictions of violence and public incitement to criminal offenses . The main cause was the song Blood must flow , which is based on the so-called Heckerlied , which the SA later repackaged as "Sharpen your knives on the sidewalk, let the knives slide into the Jewish body!" And "Blood must flow, as thick as a stick / and we give a shit about the freedom of this Jewish republic. ” The song later gave its name to the film of the same name by undercover journalist Thomas Kuban and is still widespread in the right-wing rock scene today. They played it on February 28, 1992 as an encore to a concert. Then a mob of around 120 neo-Nazis stormed a Turkish wedding and fought a street battle with the arriving police. Several seriously injured remained behind. Other songs, such as Germany awake and Der Helden Fanfare , took up National Socialist slogans.

During the process, the members distanced themselves from National Socialism . Muncke, as he came from a well-off background and had a good social prognosis , was only sentenced to a prison sentence of one year and nine months on probation, as was another band colleague. The band was then forcibly dissolved. In 1996 and 1997, however, the band released more albums. All of them were indexed by the federal inspection agency for writings harmful to minors, in particular a live album with the band Werwolf , which appeared in 1997 on NS records , as well as various illegitimate publications on foreign labels.
