BÖLZER

The band's name is difficult to translate into one word, but could roughly be approximated to something like "smasher" or "bulldozer". "bölzen" is a Swiss German verb deriving from "Bolzen" (a bolt); "bolzen" (verb, without the umlaut) can also mean "to drive fast" in other parts of the German-speaking countries as well as being a term related to football ("to slam"). The band themselves describes the meaning as "a powerful force or blow or strike that has no regard for the consequences or the repercussions. And in that sense it’s not directed either, it’s just a chaotic strike of energy…. a force of chaos, and a force of life and death and anything."
