Werwolf (German band)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Werwolf was a German right-wing rock band from Gütersloh that was active in the early 1990s.

Band history

Werwolf were founded in Gütersloh in 1988. They belonged to the second wave of right-wing rock bands that were founded around the time after the Böhsen Onkelz left the scene. Together with 08/15 from Düsseldorf and Offensive from Bonn, they were also among the first right-wing music groups from North Rhine-Westphalia .

After two demos , the debut album Vereint was released in 1990 on the right-wing rock label Rock-O-Rama , which was indexed on January 30, 1991 by the Federal Inspectorate for Writings Harmful to Young People (BPjS). The second album Schlachtruf was released in 1991 , followed by the third and final album Ewige Scars in 1992.

The band broke up in 1993 after a house search of the then bassist found 6.8 kilograms of explosives in addition to propaganda metraial. He was subsequently sentenced to prison. Posthumously a split live album was released in 1996 with the band Tonstören on the NS-Records label . The album was also indexed on August 19, 1998. This was followed in 1998 by the album Herz aus Stahl , a compilation with the unobjectionable pieces from the album Vereint .
