Untergangskommando

The worst singer in the city of Mainz Michel, running aimlessly through the streets and look for another job. He succeeds through bribery, to join a band that shortly thereafter, "refers Untergangskommando. After their first joint "samples", it turns out that all the other "musicians understand" anything from their instruments. In Mc Donald's decision Mainz-Altstadt Steffen (guitar), paetzi (guitar), OMA (Bass), Strohbü (drums) and Michel without warning and without talent, the first offensive, they take on a tape and play live for the first time. With thoughtful carols chase the boys numerous guests from the live-music venues in the area. It's promising for next time practicing things better.

It comes, as it must come: the signing in 1995 Untergangskommando Impact Records, finds a publisher, get an advance and: drowned everything. For the band bus left over after the ceremony, only 1500 marks. A Riesenschlamassel: the band buys a scrap heap and now holds the ADAC and the highway police on tenterhooks.

The future producer Uwe Faust, who actually has many years experience with the chaos of a Düsseldorf not unknown band, sees the loss -
command at a Christmas concert and recommends that after five songs the band to dissolve. After 3 vinyl EP's published 1996, the first long-player "Tatort Aldi. After the release party for guitarist paetzi and Michel fall while attempting to board an excursion boat at dawn to the Rhine.

At the first major tour forgets Untergangskommando the bassist OMA in Erfurt, at three, and its absence is only found in Eisenach. Michel singer was arrested in Mainz, as he completely drunk in the Mainz Interior
wandering around the town to preach. He explained later that the Lord has spoken to him in the night. On the "OH-TREE-TOUR" doom-plays
command in prison in Mainz and in a homeless shelter and in some clubs, some are more concerts in one evening.


The decline in 1997 to take command in a rainy week in February, the MCD "dawn". The studio work will be finished with a monumental fireworks. Some fireworks have exploded in the recording studio. The band has to pay the damage out of pocket - despite a comprehensive liability insurance. Conclusion: A mountain of debt and temporary studio ban.

In the summer of that year, the second long player "recorded plague" and the first time the band produced the sound recording itself on the release - Party there are a hundred boxes "piss" and it will break some furniture, Bong fragmented into 1000 parts. All festivities canceled.

Right at the beginning of 1998 separates the Untergangskommando from guitarist Steffen and starts the "Partisan Tour", the band races over many weekends through Germany. In between the vinyl EP "You get what you deserve" was added.

Summer 98: The band steals an emergency power generator and begins to aufzukreuzen without notice at festivals and playing in front of the door. You get what you deserve! The demise command draws a week with friends and acquaintances by South German pedestrian zones and plays with emergency generator before each approximately 200 onlookers. To 2,800 miles in 9 days, the Volume 21 times encountered the police. The band passes unnoticed in the fundus of a theater clothes and begins to dress tastefully for the concerts.

You get what you deserve! With the "Basement Ghost" and "Bastards Beezy" plays Untergangskommando 7 official concerts in Germany and irritated the visitors by wearing police uniforms. On the New Year's Eve Party 1998 will be summarily terminated guitarist Ätzy. The command is sinking back to five! For the first time with a new man on board, the band once again captures the recording studio. Result: A completely irritated engineer and a few fresh songs that have it in themselves. Tour is back in fashion.

Work on a new CD to begin. They use a variety of styles. While the samples from flaring Ätzys guitar amplifier, after paetzi tried tuning the good piece. Since the demise command is again only four. In October 2000 Strohbü announces his imminent exit. After much back and forth the remaining 3 (Michel, paetzi & OMA) die on New Year's Eve Party 2000/2001, the command decide to leave.

After the dissolution, the members played sometimes more, sometimes less time in various bands over the right of the menu you can find the biography more.
