About
Swastika Kommando was an industrial and noise music project active during the early 1980s underground music scene. The project released three cassette recordings through the influential British experimental label Broken Flag between 1983 and 1984: Mental Answer and Der Arbeiter in 1983, followed by Judgement in 1984. These releases positioned Swastika Kommando within the broader post-industrial and experimental noise movements that emerged from the UK during this period. The project's output reflected the raw, unpolished aesthetic characteristic of early 1980s tape-based experimental music, contributing to the development of industrial and noise music practices. Though details regarding specific personnel and the project's complete history remain limited in available documentation, the consistency of their Broken Flag releases demonstrates their engagement with one of the era's most important experimental music labels, which championed confrontational and avant-garde sonic approaches. Swastika Kommando remains part of the documented underground industrial music landscape of the early 1980s.
