Zyklon Beatz was a multinational German-speaking rap group from Berlin with anti-Semitic and nationalist lyrics.
Band history
Zyklon Beatz consisted of the four rappers Der Lord, GK Eins, Persian Punchlines and Tamazootra. It was multicultural, the rappers originally came from Germany, Iran, Turkey and Israel (or Palestine). The band name is based on Zyklon B , the hydrogen cyanide- based gas originally used for pest control , which the National Socialists used for the Holocaust . The rap group released their debut album Enzyklonpädie in 2006 . On the album, the band uses texts from the anti-Semitic spectrum that take up various conspiracy theories , such as the Jewish world conspiracy , well poisoning , the ritual murder of children and USrael , but also secondary anti-Semitism , in which Jews are portrayed as perpetrators in the Palestinian conflict . Jews are compared to animals in the texts and demonized as devils in human form.
Zyklon Beatz use a choice of words like those of Joseph Goebbels and the NPD . One line in the song Vaterland literally reads Germany awake from the nightmare of the past , which takes up the National Socialist slogan Germany awake .
In 2006 the band was featured on the compilation Rap City Berlin 2 with the track Sturm der Zyklonen . After that it became quiet around the group. In 2012 the album Kingdom of the Cyclones was released , but it went largely unnoticed.
