Prussian Blue's Fragment of the Future album cover

Prussian Blue is a controversial white nationalist folk teen duo formed in early 2003 by Lynx and Lamb Gaede, twin girls brought up in the United States. Lynx plays violin and Lamb plays guitar. And both of the girls sing. They recorded and released a debut CD at the end of 2004 called 'Fragment of the Future'.

Prussian Blue toured the United States in 2005. They have appeared on television with Louis Theroux of the BBC and were featured in a critical segment on ABC's Primetime on October 20, 2005. Lynx and Lamb are currently in the studio recording a follow-up CD (untitled as of yet) that is expected to be released in late 2005.

The group has strong ties to the National Vanguard organization, a white nationalist splinter group formed by disaffected former members of the National Alliance.

According to an article from ABC News, the girls are homeschooled by their mother, April, an activist and writer for the National Vanguard. The article further discusses the twins' maternal grandfather, who wears a swastika belt buckle, uses the Nazi symbol on his truck and even registered it as a cattle brand. Though the family was originally located in Bakersfield, California the twins' mother has reportedly sold their home because she fears that non-Whites there may be a threat to her children.

During their ABC interview, the twins stated that 6 million Jews were not killed during the Holocaust because there were not that many Jews in existence. The two also said they believe Adolf Hitler was a good man with some great ideas, such as eugenic standards and incentives to improve the genetic quality of the German people, such as marriage loans to help qualified German families begin upon a firm financial basis.

Lyrics and Influences

Prussian Blue's lyrics contain phrases and images often associated with Aryan/Nazi doctrine, including Valhalla and Vinland. Many of their songs are also dedicated to famous Aryan and neo-Nazi activists such as Sammy Weaver (son of Randy Weaver), Rudolf Hess and Robert Jay Matthews, as in the song "Sacrifice":

Rudolf Hess, man of Peace
He wouldn't give up and he wouldn't cease
Remember him and give a pause
Robert Matthews knew the Truth
He knew what he had to do
He set an example with Courage so bold
We'll never let that fire grow cold

The debut single for their second album The Stranger is adapted from a poem by Rudyard Kipling who allegedly supported the concept of white supremacy in many of his writings, most notably in The White Man's Burden.
