Riddled with original research, barely any sources supporting claims of such a genre even existing. If it does exist, it's little more than a neologism. The 'bands' listed are clearly nothing more than a parody (and one even has the claim that it's from not Germany, but Nazi Germany). A non-existent genre. ≈  The Haunted Angel  16:40, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep It's hardly a neologism, it's existed for about 11 years. Most of the bands listed have actual demos available, and some even have releases on records labels (Impaled Northern Moonforest for example). If you'd bother to do a little research, you'd realize that it's a small, but active musical community.

 * Comment Even if it's apparently existed from 11 years, it's so underground and unheard of that getting enough sources to verify its importance is difficult. There are links, sure, but I seriously doubt that they express that it has any real world notability ≈  The Haunted Angel  22:43, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
