# Terrorgruppe

Terrorgruppe (German pronunciation:) is a German punk rock band from Berlin-Kreuzberg founded in February 1993. The band writes lyrics in German, and their music is usually categorized as fun-punk ('punk pathetique' or 'pret-punk'). Their lyrics address social and political themes on occasion; for example in the song "Kinderwahnsinn" they discuss the idea of zero population growth, and in the song "Neulich Nacht" they address the topics of homosexuality and homophobia. Their lyrics are also against right-wing extremism, a common theme for many German punk bands. Terrorgruppe is known for live performances involving on-stage gags and audience participation. They played at the Chaostage in Hannover in 1995, and wrote the song "Wochenendticket" about the experience.

## History

The band split up for the first time in 2005 because they disagreed about future artistic directions. They reunited in 2013 after collaborating on the DVD project "Sündige Säuglinge hinter Klostermauern zur Lust verdammt!“, a documentary on the group. In January, 2016 the band released a new album Tiergarten ("Zoo"). As the cover image they used a selfie that a macaque had taken. This album was the first Terrorgruppe album to be listed in the charts in Germany and Austria.
Terrorgruppe's next two albums were also in the charts: the live-album Superblechdose (2017), and the new album Jenseits von Gut und Böse (2020). The group decided this final album would be their last, and they planned to support it with a tour in 2020. Because of the covid pandemic in 2020, this tour was delayed until the end of 2021. In 2021 the on-going tour had to be cancelled after four members of the tour crew tested positive for covid. In 2022, Terrorgruppe did a short tour with six concerts. Shortly before this tour began, bass player Zip Schlitzer died. The band's final concert took place on July 21, 2022 in Huxleys Neuer Welt in Berlin.
