Information
The band was first named "Firma Trötsch".
A concert of the band on October 17, 1987 became legendary, because it was the first time that about 20 or 30 Skinheads were showing up at a public event in the GDR. They shouted things like "Sieg Heil!" and "Deutschland, Deutschland!" and started beating up people in the audience randomly.[1] It seems like they played that show together with the still active band Element of Crime.[2]
Line-Up
The band had numerous different line-ups in their active time. Notable band members were:
- Paul Landers: Guitar (1986-1993)
