SICK OF SOCIETY released their new single "Deutschrock muss sterben" on October 25 through Pauli Punker Records. The video has also been online since October 29:
SICK OF SOCIETY – "Deutschrock muss sterben"
With this song, the band from Ulm criticizes the exaggerated male image, the homeland pathos, and the constant appeal to pride, honor, and toughness in parts of the Deutschrock scene. In an interview with RandaleFUNK, the songwriter explains that the criticism refers to the attitude and demeanor of this scene. Overall, German-language rock music is not meant by this.
The reference to SLIME's "Deutschland muss sterben" is intentional. The line was created during the work on the demo when the band was still looking for a concise addition between the verses. You can find the detailed conversation about the song at RandaleFUNK.
SICK OF SOCIETY has been active under this name since 1993. Antifascism and social justice have long been part of the band's self-understanding. The new single continues this political orientation.
