Sleipnir is a German rock band known for its association with the controversial Rechtsrock (right-wing rock) scene. Formed in the late 1990s, the band’s name is inspired by Norse mythology — Sleipnir being Odin’s eight-legged horse. Their music often blends hard rock and metal influences with politically charged lyrics, which has led to criticism and restrictions in some countries due to extremist content. Despite the controversy, Sleipnir has maintained a dedicated following within certain subcultures.
