Diktatūra

Diktatūra (meaning "The dictatorship") is a patriotic metal band from Lithuania. Most of their lyrics feature topics such as fatherland, honor, war, patriotism and Lithuanian traditions.

The band formed in the mid-1990s, and at first played far right songs; some were about football hooliganism and white power skinheads. The first members had pseudonyms: Slibinas (Dragon), Kaminas (Chimney) and Indėnas (Indian). These members recorded two albums, Metas (1996) and TvarkOi! (1997). The third album was recorded by four musicians, of which only Slibinas remained from the first lineup. Eventually their song lyrics became less radical; mostly about patriotism, war, honour, traditions and culture, but also about beer and street fighting. Some songs, especially from the album Kitokios Dainos (2003), are not related to these subjects. A few years later Diktatura became a simple patriotic rock/metal band.
