Böhse Onkelz, the influential German rock band, unleashed their raw and rebellious energy onto the world with the album "Lügenmarsch" on July 1, 1989. This compact yet powerful collection of seven tracks clocks in at just under 30 minutes, but it packs a punch that resonates far beyond its duration. Released under the label V.I.E.R. Ton & Merch GmbH, "Lügenmarsch" is a testament to the band's ability to blend aggressive rock with provocative lyrics, creating a sound that is as unforgettable as it is intense.
From the opening track "Ein guter Freund" to the closing notes of "Religion," Böhse Onkelz delivers a relentless assault of hard-hitting riffs, pounding drums, and vocals that demand attention. The album's title track, "Lügenmarsch," sets the tone with its raw energy and defiant attitude, while tracks like "Könige für einen Tag" and "Guten Tag" showcase the band's knack for crafting anthems that resonate with their loyal fanbase. The album also features a cover of the classic horror theme "Tanz der Teufel," adding a touch of the macabre to the mix.
"Lügenmarsch" is a snapshot of Böhse Onkelz at their most uncompromising, a time capsule of their early sound that continues to influence and inspire. Whether you're a longtime fan or a newcomer to their music, this album is a must-experience, a raw and unfiltered look into the world of one of Germany's most iconic rock bands.
This 1999 Repress LP is pressed on Picture Disc vinyl.
