Grauzone
Grauzone (German for grey area, [ˈɡraʊ̯.tsoːnə]) was a band from Berne, Switzerland that was active and disbanded in the early 1980s.
Grauzone is most famous for their 1981 hit "Eisbär" ("Polar Bear"). The single charted at #12 in Germany and #6 in Austria. In addition to Eisbär they had some success with the singles Film 2 and Wütendes Glas.
History
Foundation
At the end of 1979, Marco Repetto (drums) and GT (bass) left the punk band Glueams to form a new band called Grauzone with Martin Eicher (guitar, vocals, synthesizer). Martin had already supported Glueams on their single '"Mental". They gave their first concert in March 1980 at club Spex in Berne. Martin's brother Stephan Eicher (guitar, synthesizer), Max Kleiner and Claudine Chirac (saxophone) supplemented the group temporarily in live appearances and recordings.
After ten concerts, four singles and an album the group split up at the end of 1982.
After Grauzone
GT and Marco Repetto formed a new band Missing Link, later Eigernordwand, with the former Glueams guitarist Martin Pavlinec and the drummer Dominique Uldry. GT supplemented the futurism oriented performance group "Red Catholic Orthodox Jewish Chorus" around performance artist Edy Marconi, in which occasionally Marco Repetto also played. Later the group changed their name to I Suonatori.

Crosses Toward Hell
by: KrisiunHear the dark symphony
when the light becomes black
under the blood's rain
Satan always calls your name
uncaread for your God
inherit the evil's control
this order always summoned you
raise the black flag
blood run out of your eyes
plague's fever and death
all disease are spreadin' out
unleashed the demon's wrath
slaves of the dying world
the worms eat away their flesh
blood blasts from the sky
crosses toward hell
Rotten guts inside the body
the mankind cry out in despair
rotten world, atrocious from hell
you get command, godless butcher
