Landser ((:ˈland.zɛɐ)) was a German neo-Nazi rock band. ''Landser'' is an old-fashioned German colloquialism for a low-ranking soldier. The band, which is outlawed in Germany, was previously called Endlösung (Final Solution), and was founded by members of the neo-Nazi group ''Die Vandalen - Ariogermanische Kampfgemeinschaft'' (The Vandals - Aryan Germanic Combat Association), which was founded in 1982.〔http://www.politische-bildung-brandenburg.de/extrem/rechtsrock3.htm#3 Biography of Landser (in German)〕 They performed only one concert that was open to the public, and did so wearing masks. However, they held several private concerts in restaurants in Berlin, Germany. Landser had their CDs manufactured abroad, mainly in the United States, Canada and Eastern Europe. The music is distributed online, by underground dealers through peer to peer networks or purchased from music labels in the United States and in some European countries where their music is legal (mostly in Eastern Europe and the United Kingdom). == History == Landser was formed in 1991 as an unnamed, non-political punk band playing songs in both German and English. The music started taking a racist direction in late 1991, and in early 1992, the name "Endlösung" was applied to the band. In mid-1992, the band changed its name to Landser and started singing entirely in German. Landser's first major release was ''Das Reich kommt wieder'' (''The Reich Will Rise Again'') in September 1992. Shortly after its release, Landser played their only public concert, wearing masks. Their other albums include ''Republik der Strolche'' (''Republic of Rascals'', 1995), ''Rock gegen Oben'' (''Rock against the Top'' 1997) and ''Ran an den Feind,'' (''Engage the Enemy'', 2000), which includes a remake of the 1940 German military march "Bomben auf England", retitled "Bomben auf Israel". The song "Rudolf Hess" from ''Rock gegen Oben'' glorifies Nazi Rudolf Hess as a martyr and, in "Sturmführer", Michael Regener, the band's leader, pays tribute to his grandfather, who was a Waffen Schutzstaffel (SS) officer. The track "Verkauft und Verraten" (Sold Out and Betrayed) from ''Rock gegen Oben'' compares life in East Germany, where Regener was born, to life in modern Germany. In it, he says that he "can still see the snipers lurking in the watchtowers" and at the end, he exclaims that he has been "sold out and betrayed by the fucking Democrats". Most of their songs espouse an aggressively nationalist perspective of the world and are highly critical of the Federal Republic of Germany, its surveillance and censorship agencies (i.e. the Bundesamt für Verfassungsschutz), liberalism and the Left. A number of songs speak against communists, pedophiles and homosexuals, as well as ethnic minorities in Germany, such as the Jews, Gypsies, Turks, Vietnamese, blacks and Poles but also against refugees. Many songs are decidedly racist against all Non-Whites. Some of their songs are non-political and inspired by German drinking songs. Others praise German icons such as Frederick the Great or take an anti-drug stance. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Landser (band)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
