About Endstille

Endstille is a black metal band from Kiel, Germany. It was founded in the year 2000 by L. Wachtfels (Guitar), Mayhemic Destructor (Drums), Iblis (Vocals-2000 to 2009) and Cruor (Bass). Wachtfels and Mayhemic Destructor were playing in the Band "Tauthr" before, Iblis and Cruor were members of "Octaria". They describe their music as "ugly, aggressive Black-Metal with the fire-speed of a MG42 and the power of heavy ship-artillery". Their lyrics mainly refer to their personal experiences and beliefs, as well as to war-scenarios and tactics at war. Against many detractors, the band heavily dissociates from any right-extreme tendencies. Regarding the accusations of Nazi sympathies, Mayhemic Destructor was quoted in an interview conducted by email in 2006 "Our music sounds like a war. There is no politically thing in it. And everyone who says that Endstille is a Nazi band doesn't know anything. We are not from Germania, like you say. We are from Slesvigland. It's between Denmark and Germany. I cannot identify myself with Germany. In Germany there are Bavarian and Saxon people. Everything looks so Kraut-stylish. This is nothing for us. The mentality from the people here in Slesvigland is more like the Scandinavian way of life."
