Totalitär is a Swedish hardcore punk band formed in 1984-1985 in Hudiksvall. The band plays in the style of D-beat and hardcore punk.
The original members were Poffen, Lanchy, Andreas and Lennart. Their drummer, Spennart joined the band in 1985, but quit during the summer of 1986. The band had shared members with Brainbombs among others. Jörgen and Jesper from the two-piece band TGU were in the band between 1987 and 1989, before leaving to form the punk band The Kristet Utseende.
The band went on a hiatus in 1990. In 1994, Finn Records proposed reforming the band with the resulting album Sin Egen Motståndare, their first full-length studio album.[1] Until 2000, the band record studio materials but rarely played live. It disbanded in 2000. The band also had a fanzine called Antisystem.
In 2006, and after 6 years without recording sessions, they returned to the studio releasing the album Vi Är Eliten.[2]
