BRIEF HISTORY OF THE

SPANISH
MUSIC SCENE
The first NS/NR musical bands appeared in Spain
in the first 80's.
Bands like 'Generacion Violenta' of Miranda del Ebro that changed the
name to 'Fuerza Joven', 'Olor Insoportable',' Nueva Estirpe', 'Vª Columna',
'Alternativa 3' and probably the most famous "Decibelios". Decibelios
were not a Ns band, but in one concert the singer appeared with a T-shirt with
a picture of Adolf Hitler, and in interviews they said that Skrewdriver was
one of their musical influences. Nowadays is one of the favorite bands of the
spanish Sharps, and the band had mysteriously forgotten his past... In
the first 80's there were also some punk bands with '''racists/Ns''' lyrics,
f. ex "Seguridad Social" had songs like 'Frida is a member of the KKK' or 'Judenmasonic
conspiration'; Interterror had one called 'Happy days in auschwitz"; and
Glutamato ye-ye had one song dedicated to the BB.AA as they were friends of
the Atletico de Madrid hools, and this hools were linked with the BBAA. Also
'Los ilegales' had a song called 'Heil Hitler!', and 'Gabinete Caligari'
had some songs of that kind. Spain in 1980-81 was musically, like England in
1976-77, a "punk explosion'', but very transgressor, rebel and nonconformist.
In the BBAA were some nazi-punks and also in Ultras Sur. There were also a band
called 'Los Nikis' that play punk-pop that had some pro-nationalist songs
like "The empire strikes again" (like the stars wars film) [used by AUN in their
meetings] ; "Enrique the UltraS Sur" or "Revenge" These band were called by
the press 'The Ramones of Algete' (a village near madrid) and were very popular
in the last 80's and first 90's.
In 1985 'Conemrad' from the Canary Islands published the
demo 'Canary Island'85' and in 1987 the album 'Asphalt soldiers' with racist
lyrics and skin themes.
'Estirpe Imperial' one of the most famous band here, started playing in 1990-91. They play rock with epic lyrics. They published first a maxi-single of 4 songs and after that a CD "Herederos de una Historia", this band also appeared in the compilation disc White Pride World Wide Vol.3 with 2 songs "Guerra en las calles" and "Es por ti" and also with the song "Fight" (singed in english) in the compilation disc "Give them a future". Another discs of this band are "Herederos de una Historia" and "Seguimos Vivos".
In the first 90's appeared two bands in Valenci
a [east of Spain]: 'División 250' and 'Klan'. In 1992 'División
250' played in a concert in Valencia with 'Battle Zone' and 'No Remorse'. The
style of this band was pure Oi!, but now they have changed into pop-rock. His
first work was called "Sangre de Conquistadores"(Blood of conquerors) published
by 'Rebelles Europeen' with very explicit and direct lyrics. The second
album of this band "Revuelta" was published by Tuono Rec. And his last
CD "Imperivm" has been edited by Rata-ta-ta-tà... Rec. They were
very linked to Accion Radical, and the singer of the band went to the
jail.
'Klan' was also an Oi! band, and they published
a Lp called "Hordas Celtiberas" (Celtiberian hordes). Also with explicit lyrics.
As D250 they were also prosecuted by the police, and the leader of the band
had to go to other country.
For a few years they didn't appear any new band, apart from 'Batallon de Castigo' that was formed at the jail. This band plays a heavy metal music style. They recorded some demo-tapes in the jail, and also played some gigs. Finally some of them serve the sentence and recorded the Cd's "¡Caña de España!" and "¡Desperta Ferro!". The singer of this band is also the guitarist of '7 Muelles', but now is another time in the jail.
In the middle of the 90's
appeared 'Primera Linea' from Sevilla, with RAC/Oi! music style and very explicit
lyrics. They published a demo called "Somos la Clase Obrera"(We are the
Working class) and a Cd called "España. ¡¡Despierta Ya!!".
They had changes in the formation and also changed the name into 'Ofensiva 88'.
Also from Sevilla is the band 'Centvria' that has played
in some concerts.
In Barcelona [north east of Spain] appeared the band 'Torquemada 1488', with Oi!-hatecore music style. They have played in Germany, France, Switzerland, Italy and Spain. His first demo was called "Gradas de Gloria", and his first Cd "A degüello". Now they have dissapear as band.
Also from Barcelona are the bands: 'Patria', that have published a demo called "La Voz de España" and more recently the Cd "Clase Obrera Skinheads" ; 'Tormenta Blanca', more into ballads that has a 4 songs demo, now they have changed their name in to 'Tormenta' and are going to publish a Cd that will be called 'El fin de los tiempos'; and 'Combat Rune' that don't play anymore. Members of 'Patria' and 'Tormenta Blanca' have a musical project called '14 Palabras' and have recorded a Cd called "Esperanza...". Other bands from this region are "Estandarte 88", "Cruzada", "Tiempo de Ataque" and "Hermanos Blancos", this band has recorded a demo-CD.
In Asturias [north west of spain] we have the band ' Reconquista', with RAC/Oi! music style and aggressive lyrics. They have a demo and two Cd`s, one called "Almas Ardiendo"(like the Leon Degrelle's book) and the other 'Revolucion' (reconquista1488@hotmail.com) . And in Cantabria, the neighbor region, there is a band called 'Cruzada 88'
Members of 'Estirpe Imperial' formed 2 parallel projects: the guitarist formed 'Celtica' with folk and celtic music style, and they have published their first Cd: "Album de presentacion" ; the singer of E.I with the singer and guitarist of 'Batallon de Castigo' formed the band '7 Muelles' (it's the name of the typical spanish clasp-knife) more into RAC, his first Cd is called "¡ No te cortes!"
From Valencia appeared a compilation Cd called "Sonido AntiSistema" with three bands: 'Legión Negra' , 'Rebelión' and 'Sección de Asalto'. Also from this region is the band 'Iberos Saiti'.
In Toledo [center of Spain] there is a band called 'Toletum', with RAC/Oi! music style, that had played in gigs in Spain and also in "Memoriale 2000" in Italy. They have recorded a Cd called 'Un Nuevo Orden para la vieja Europa'.
In Madrid, the capital of Spain, there are a few bands: 'Skinzofrenia' ,'Tambores de Guerra', 'Zetme 88' formed at the jail, 'Praxis', 'Sangre Joven', 'Odal' with a Cd called 'Hecho en España' (odalband@hotmail.com ), 'Falcata', and 'Krasny Bor 1943' that has recently released their first Cd ( krasnybor1943@mixmail.com )
Actually in the epic-metal
scene there are bands like "Tierra Santa (holy land)" or "Avalanch" with lyrics
of spanish legends and stories, like 'The Cid', 'Inquisition', 'reconquer against
muslims'. They are not pro-nationalist (at least they do not say that) but some
ignorant-red-metal fans said that they are "Fascists", just because this sing
about his country.
There are also a few pro-Ns/paganist/odinist black metal
bands like Nazgulk, Amphiaraus, Dark Drakkar or
Berserk.
