Betontod is a German punk rock band from Rheinberg, founded in 1990 under the name Extrem before settling on their current name. The five-piece - fronted by Oliver Meister alongside guitarists Frank 'Eule' Vohwinkel and Mario Schmelz, bassist Adam Dera and drummer Maik Feldmann - built their reputation entirely on the DIY circuit, releasing over eleven studio albums on their own label Better Than Hell. Their 2017 album 'Revolution' broke into the German top 3, cementing them as one of the most consistent acts in German-language punk rock.
Betontod released a new song on December 5, 2025, aimed directly at their long-time fanbase, to kick off their 35th anniversary year.
The band announced their 'Wir fangen jetzt erst an! Tour 2026', described as the biggest tour in their history, with dates across Germany plus Venlo and Zürich.
A feature-length documentary covering 35 years of band history was released on YouTube for one week free of charge.
