History Music / HatariBand

A self-described "anti-capitalist BDSM techno performance art group" aiming to put an end to capitalism, Hatari is best known for representing Iceland in the Series/EurovisionSongContest 2019, with the song "Hatrið mun sigra" [[note]]English: "Hatred will prevail"[[/note]], fighting off steep competition from former Icelandic entrants Friðrik Ómar (2008) and Hera Björk (2010) in the Söngvakeppnin selection format. "Hatrið mun sigra" has the distinction of being the country's first song sung entirely in Icelandic since "Ég Á Líf" in 2013, and one of the ''only'' songs sung in Icelandic since Eurovision's revised language policy went into effect in the mid-90s.

* AllWomenAreDomsAllMenAreSubs: The doms can be any gender. Performances feature female doms more often, but "Spillingardans" has male doms (including the band themselves) holding the whips. But the subs are mostly the trio.

* SomethingCompletelyDifferent: "Spectavisti Me Mori" is a violin solo. "Nunquam Iterum" is a choral piece.

* MohsScaleOfRockAndMetalHardness: Hard 4 to soft 8. The industrial vibes, Matthías' HarshVocals, and cynical lyrical content would place it higher up on the scale but Klemens' clean singing pulls it back a bit.

* SopranoAndGravel: Respectively, Klemens and Matthías. The latter's HarshVocals tend to be featured more often in their songs, with the former's soothing high tenor either in the background or dominating the choruses.

* FreakyFashionMildMind: Despite Matthías screaming like the banshees are after him on stage and their general BDSM aesthetic and hellish stage show, they're very nice and eloquent in interviews. Often to {{adorkable}} levels, flirting with the camera or making deadpan jokes.

* ObligatoryBondageSong: [[https://youtu.be/ug9jecQ616s?t=750 "Þræll"]] is this with the much-added bonus of [[StepUpToTheMicrophone Klemens]] being the only voice you hear in the song.

!TV TROPES MUN SIGRA

* {{Gaslighting}}: The [[https://hatari-translations.tumblr.com/post/185236881397/14-%C3%A1r-14-years-transcripttranslation lyrics]] to “14 ár” are all about toxic relationships and this trope in a general sense, with Matthías in the receiving end and Klemens playing the abuser pleading the victim to stay.

* PrecisionFStrike: "Spillingardans" drops one in the line ''kapitalistar '''andskotans'''''.

* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: "Ódýr" and "Hatrið mun sigra". Their Eurovision performances of the latter ''screamed'' this.

* ThreeMinutesOfWrithing: Klemens in "Hatrið mun sigra" (along with backup dancers) and "Klefi[=/=]Samed", the latter being noteworthy for him having nothing to do but dance in the desert.

--->'''Klemens Hannigan'''

'''Hatari''' is an Icelandic {{hardcore techno}} band established in 2015 consisting of Klemens Hannigan, Matthías Haraldsson, and Einar Stefánsson.

* AllWomenAreDomsAllMenAreSubs: Played straight in their performances, as they're often portrayed as subs to female doms.

* PrecisionFStrike: "Spillingardans" drops one in the line ''kapitalistan '''andskotans'''''.

* {{Troll}}: Though it hasn't been outright stated by anyone affiliated with the band, Hatari certainly ''seems'' to be somewhat satirical in nature. They "announced" their split in December 2018, citing their inability to end capitalism as the main reason, only for their participation as prospective Eurovision hopefuls to be revealed a month later. Around the time of the Söngvakeppnin 2019 final, they also unveiled [[https://sodadream.is/ their own soft drink brand]], which would seem otherwise antithetical to their stated anti-capitalist goals. Additionally, they established their own company called "Relentless Scam Incorporated", stating that any purchase of their products does not guarantee to further the revolution or the end of the world.

— '''Klemens Hannigan'''

%%* AlmightyJanitor: Klemens built the set for "Hatrið mun sigra" and possibly "Spillingardans". His [[BunnyEarsLawyer day job]] is making furniture.
%%* AndShowItToYou: The entirety of the "X" video is this with LeFilmArtistique tossed in.

* BoundAndGagged: "Spillingardans" without the gag part. You still get whipped and set on fire, though.
%%* CarefulWithThatAxe: Midway through "Ódýr" you would hear Matthías doing this.
* EuropeansAreKinky: Their performances are what could only be described at a BDSM nightmare. The "Spillingardans" video especially takes the cake.

* MalevolentMaskedMen: Einar is often seen wearing a spiky mask and sometimes [[BlackEyesOfEvil black contact lenses]]. The effect is inhanced by him being able to not blink while staring into the camera for what seems like minutes, as well as never saying a word in interviews when masked. In line with the BDSM theme, some of their dancers sometimes follow suit.
* MohsScaleOfRockAndMetalHardness: Hard 4 to soft 7. The industrial vibes, Matthías' HarshVocals, and even harsher lyrical content would place it higher up on the scale but Klemens' clean singing pulls it back a bit.
* MultilingualSong: "Klefi[=/=]Samed" features Palestinian singer Bashar Murad singing in Arabic, interspersed with Matthías grunting his verses in his native Icelandic.

%%* PrecisionFStrike: ''Kapitalistan '''andskotans''''' in "Spillingardans".
%%* PrettyBoy: Just look at the page image!

%%* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: Their music videos love this aesthetic. "Ódýr" is the worst offender.

* SelfEmpowermentAnthem: Bashar Murad's parts in "Klefi[=/=]Samed". He sings about staying standfast and not bowing down even after torture, about finally feeling elevated and healed after years of suffering, as well as being worthy and refusing to be erased.
%%* SexyScandinavian: Subverted geographically[[note]]Iceland ''is'' a Nordic country but its being part of the Scandinavian region per se is disputed because of its distance from mainland Europe.[[/note]] but otherwise amplified by EuropeansAreKinky.
* SopranoAndGravel: Respectively, Klemens and Matthías. The latter has very deep, dark vocals and either growls his parts or screams like the banshees are after him, while Klemens has a soft, high sopranos like summer rain.
%%* ThreeMinutesOfWrithing: Hoo, boy. Where do we even begin?

[[caption-width-right:350:left to right: Matthías, Einar, Klemens]]

* CarefulWithThatAxe: Midway through "Ódýr" you would hear Matthías doing this.

* FreakyFashionMildMind: Despite Matthías screaming like the banshees are after him on stage and their general BDSM aesthetic and hellish stae show, they're very nice and eloquent in interviews. Often to {{adorkable}} levels, flirting with the camera or making deadpan jokes.

* PrecisionFStrike: ''Kapitalistan '''andskotans''''' in "Spillingardans".

%%* SelfEmpowermentAnthem: In a way, Bashar Murad's parts in "Klefi[=/=]Samed".
* SexyScandinavian: Subverted geographically[[note]]Iceland ''is'' a Nordic country but its being part of the Scandinavian region per se is disputed because of its distance from mainland Europe.[[/note]] but otherwise amplified by EuropeansAreKinky.

-->Well, it's hard to be anti-anything if you are immersed in it from birth. You can't really be anti-capitalist without being a {{Hypocrite}}...

* BluntMetaphorsTrauma: Once the cousins were interviewed about being [[BetrayalTropes thrown under a bus]]. Matthías then nonchalantly recounted the time Klemens got hit by a car.

* FreakyFashionMildMind: They're very nice in interviews. Often to {{Adorkable}} levels.
** HeCleansUpNicely: Downplayed in pics like [[https://imgs.smoothradio.com/images/48312?crop=16_9&width=660&relax=1&signature=Wc1RkCmBYTKZHfWTxisYuvLIfJU= this]] since the cousins don't need much makeup anyway. Einar [[https://wiwibloggs.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/HATARI-1024x684.jpg plays it straight]], though.
