The first single from the upcoming eighth studio album by Terrorgruppe “Jenseits von Gut und Böse” aka “The Purple Album” (release on June 26, 2020) offers a beautiful mix of guitar melodies, pounding drums, catchy choruses, and discussion material for the whole family.
Why does the uniformed person being sung about constantly want to invade the territories of subculture and leisure activities and cause havoc there?
Does raw violence and neurotic hatred towards police officers actually help against misguided drug policy and parking tickets?
And why do punks still have to tussle with overzealous police officers after 45 years?
Why are there still far-right police officers on active duty, and why is police violence almost never punished?
Legitimate questions - to which this song also provides no answers.
Carefree and self-ironic, Terrorgruppe delivers the first appetizer for an album that is guaranteed to be completely offbeat, far beyond good and evil.
And quite incidentally, the Kreuzberg aggro-pop band has also invented the new sub-genre “gangster punk”.
The video for “Sie nationalsozialistische Bullensau” (with the cute puppy dogs) was filmed by Philipp Virus, who has often collaborated with Terrorgruppe in the past.

New TERRORGRUPPE album coming this summer! On June 26!
It contains music to further divide society.
Punk hurts again - the old boys of Terrorgruppe hate their generation and everyone else and have long been cruising far “beyond good and evil,” beyond fuck & fake, beyond mentally & healthy, beyond evil & worse...
Carefree and a tiny bit polarizing, the (purple) album offers offbeat gangster punk and insider reports from the incestuous clan structures of the Berlin punk, politics, celebrity, populist, prole, and police underworld.
And you thought Fukushima was bad. (At least they leave the animals alone.)
The tracklist will be announced in spring 2020.
JENSEITS VON GUT UND BÖSE will be released as
+ CD in hardcover mediabook (16s. lyrics & art)
+ LP with 16s. painting booklet, lyrics, and DL code
+ Box set with the CD mediabook and the LP (only here in PURPLE vinyl!)
plus exclusive bonus 10”, with songs that are not published on any other recording.
3. Attention, brand NEW! “Jenseits von Gut und Böse” is available only in the Terrorgruppe shop
Here’s what the band has to say:
“We, the music ensemble TERRORGRUPPE, one of the last real existing punk & aggro-pop bands on Central European soil and a strange hybrid of DIY underdogism and blatant commercial punk star behavior, have tragically and completely undeservedly found ourselves caught in the mills of the music industry in recent weeks. Oh dear! They wanted to cut our art and release policy with irrelevant arguments. We don’t even want to explain who, where, when, and why wanted to interfere with our records, song contents, and wicked mockeries... don’t look back. In any case, we are no longer interested in the system of the music trade and its anticipatory obedience and will also refuse monopolists like Amazon, etc., who couldn’t care less about our art, fair pricing policy (and the working conditions of their employees).
The time is ripe, therefore: You will ONLY be able to pre-order the new (purple) album by Terrorgruppe “Jenseits von Gut und Böse” EXCLUSIVELY in our Terrorgruppe Shop. Of course, the wickedest songs from the purple album will also be played on the “Jenseits von Gut und Böse” tour in November 2020. (Yes!!! TG will play shows again after a 2-year concert break!) Tickets are available in the same Terrorgruppe shop and also a ridiculously cheap box + concert bundle (only while supplies last): Concert ticket plus limited (purple vinyl) album box including the exclusive 10” EP with unreleased songs.
