Feindflug is a German electro-industrial band founded in 1995 by DJ Felix and DJ Banane. Translated, der Feindflug (literally "the foe-flight") corresponds in military use to the French/English word "sortie".[1][2]
Feindflug's music is entirely instrumental. The only vocals that can be heard are in samples,[3] mostly taken from movies dubbed in German or excerpts of Adolf Hitler or Klaus Kinski.
Critics have associated the band with the German Neo-Nazi scene, due to the themes presented in their music and their album cover graphics. The band-members oppose this critique and have stated that their music is intended as a reflection of the issues it describes, not as support. The band's motto is "Use your brain and think about it!".
In 2004, the band was invited to perform at the 13th Wave-Gotik-Treffen music festival in Leipzig, Germany.
In 2006, the band performed at the 15th Wave-Gotik-Treffen music festival in Leipzig, Germany.
In 2010, the band performed at the E-tropolis music festival in Berlin, Germany.
In 2011, the band performed at the 20th edition of Wave-Gotik-Treffen in Leipzig, Germany, and at the 6th edition of the Amphi Festival in Köln, Germany.

In 2006, the band's website's flash intro featured photographs of several German World War 2 scenes, an electric chair and President George W. Bush in between their song, B 66883. Voice Samples„Von hier gibt es kein Entkommen“ ("From here, there is no escape") and „Schluss damit!“ ("Stop it!" or "Stop that!") could be heard along with the band's slogan "Use your brain and think about it!" appearing in between.
Feindflug's first official release, I. / St. G. 3, was released on the radical right-wing VAWS label.[5] They say that they regret this, and didn't know what VAWS was about, but that no one else was willing to release their work due to the controversial name, imagery, and use of samples.
All subsequent releases have been made on the Black Rain label, but not without trouble. The Dutch producer for the Sterbehilfe EP refused production because of explicit images of an execution with an electrical chair, and the Austrian producer for Hirnschlacht refused production later because of the national-socialist accusations.
