Luftwaffe

Luftwaffe is a martial, neofolk and post-industrial music group from Chicago, USA.

History: The group was conceived of in 1997 by founding members b9 InViD and j1 StatiK, as they were introduced by a mutual friend and quickly became friends due to a common interest in the music of Boyd Rice and other similar Industrial artists. After attending a performance by Death in June, Strength Through Joy and NON in 1997, they decided to formulate a one-time performance for the Disassembly Avant Garde Art Forum in the spring of 1998, under the moniker of Luftwaffe. The 5-minute performance, featuring found-percussion, analog synthesis and the “immortal words of the all too mortal Aleister Crowley” was well received.[citation needed] It was decided that Luftwaffe would become a full time musical endeavor.
