OHL (Oberste Heeresleitung) is a German punk band reputed for their raw energy and provocative themes. Established in Leverkusen in 1980, the group's moniker references the Supreme Army Command of the German Empire during World War I, which reflects their penchant for incorporating historical and political topics in their work. Although their style draws from the punk genre, they're often associated with the controversial subgenre of Deutschpunk, which is known for its aggressive and straightforward punk-rock sound coupled with German-language lyrics.

Throughout their career, OHL has been a prominent and sometimes contentious figure in the music scene, characterized by their confrontational lyrics and unapologetically bold stance on social and political issues. With a discography that includes albums like "Heimkehr" and "Im Westen nichts Neues," they've carved out a distinctive identity within the punk niche. The titles of their recent releases, such as "Brandstifter," "Zurück zur Front," and "Das 7. Zeichen," often suggest a preoccupation with themes of conflict, struggle, and societal unrest, which continues to resonate with fans of the punk genre seeking authenticity and fearless expression in music.
