Freikorps - Land meiner Väter LP

When Freikorps released "Land meiner Väter," their debut album, on Rock-O-Rama Records in 1992, the band stepped into a void left by bands like Böhsen Onkelz and Störkraft. Kai Stüwe's Schleswig-Holstein combo quickly amassed a loyal fan base. On their debut recording, the northern lights so let loose that the record was confiscated by the Halle District Court after less than two years. The verbal tensions of those years have now been digitally remastered to ensure that cultural assets are preserved!

Hardly any other album from the early 1990s caused as much of a stir within the German skinhead scene as "Land of My Fathers." With its re-release in 2025, the work will once again become tangible – raw, provocative, and historically significant for understanding the third generation of German Oi! and skinhead bands.

Musically, "Land meiner Väter" is oriented towards the classic RAC and Oi! sound of those days – straightforward, anthemic, and with a raw attitude. The guitar work is hard, rhythm-driven, with melodic parts reminiscent of the early works of Combat 84 or Skrewdriver. In terms of content, the record remains critical of migration and strongly patriotic, without stepping into various pitfalls regarding child protection or criminal law.

Freikorps was never skinhead mainstream – and never wanted to be. The band was an expression of a subculture that took a radical stance against social misdeeds. "Land meiner Väter" therefore remains a contemporary document: uncomfortable, loud, and a reflection of the era in which it was created. To be listened to critically, but not to be ignored!
