Turbonegro

Turbonegro or Turboneger is a Norwegian band which combines heavy metal, rock and punk music into a non-politically-correct version of punk. Their lyrics often attack political correctness; for example, the cover of the single "Bad Mongo" depicts Adolf Hitler as a mental retard, and in the song "Hobbit Motherfuckers", they complain that there is "not enough suffering" and "not enough natural selection". Their genre of punk has been described as death punk by some, including, arguably, by the band itself in their lyrics ("gimme deathpunk baby, and I like it", from the song "Get it on"). Being a fun project with common predecessors (Sex Pistols wearing swastikas, etc), Turbonegro have been praised by some as playing the most up-to-date form of punk, and refusing to be categorized being nowhere as clearly expressed as in this anarchic blend of humour, shock and sexuality.
