It's quite bold for a band in today's times to choose a name that includes the word "terror."
There used to be a band called "Fluchtpunkt Terror," but after some time they changed their name to "Bums," partly because they struggled to book concerts with their old name. Then there was the Berlin band "Terrorgruppe," which even had television appearances due to their success.
The hardcore band "Terror" is still around, of course.
The word "terror" has almost become a taboo in media and politics when it comes to wordplay and irony. That's how the world changes.
DORFTERROR refuses to accept negative changes. The band from the wonderfully named place, Oberbillig, has been around since 2018.
"Schreikinder" is the band's second album and the first to be released on Dackelton Records.
Upon listening to "Schreikinder," it immediately becomes clear that this young band has quite a lot of talent. At times they remind you of Jack Pott, then Alarmsignal, and occasionally of Popperklopper or Dritte Wahl.
The female vocal part sounds sour and rough. The lyrics are shouted out, while the male vocal part sings clean and usually calmer. This makes the songs diverse, which is also achieved through the melodies.
Melodic, angry, full of energy and power, that's DORFTERROR.
For a young band, they sound almost mature.
Well-developed melodies, untamed energy, and lyrics that speak from the soul.
Politically clearly left and socially clearly engaged.
As long as there are bands like this, I have no fear for the future of Deutschpunk.
