Oomph! is tagged as: industrial, industrial metal, german, metal, rock New Album out now-Truth or Dare |OOMPH! is an industrial rock band from the neue deutsche härte scene. OOMPH! consists of:|Dero Goi (vocals, drums)|Robert Flux (guitar, mixing)|Crap (lead guitar, keyboards)|Leo (live drums)|Hagen (live bass) The band was formed in 1989 in Wolfsburg, Germany. They are (next to KMFDM and Die Krupps) founders of the new fusion of hard metal music and industrial sounds known as Neue Deutsche Härte, though OOMPH! owed a lot to Nitzer Ebb in their first album. (It is interesting to note that Die Krupps and Nitzer Ebb released a single - “The Machineries of Joy” - together in 1989, the same year OOMPH! was founded.) OOMPH!’s change of style between their self-titled debut (1992) and its successor “Sperm” (1994), leaning more heavily to a guitar-driven metal sound without ever giving up their electronic roots, inspired numerous musicians, most famously Rammstein, to follow their lead. (Rammstein have cited OOMPH! in several interviews as their main inspiration.) OOMPH! released their first album on Jor’s Machinery label, then releasing their consecutive albums on its sister-label Dynamica. They stayed with Jor, until his labels disappeared during the acquisition by Sanctuary Records at around 1996/... Read More About Oomph! Biography... Send Oomph! ringtones to your cell |
