So, I know people here like Rammstein, but what of other German metal bands? There's a lot of very good bands along the same lines, but they rarely seem to be mentioned around here. Is there anyone else familiar with bands like Oomph! or Megaherz, or are you previously unaware of these bands and like to hear more?

This is Schweisser:

Megaherz:

And for good measure, some more Oomph!

Because Oomph! are fantastic, and incredibly catchy.

Any least Neue Deutsche Härte sounds better than the other genre term Tanz-Metal
Dance Metal my hole.

I have been meaning to get some Oomph stuff.
Any recommendations?

Never really liked oomph, vocalist just doesn't do it for me. But maybe I haven't listened to enough of their songs, might give them a second chance

Megaherz I like from some of the stuff ive heard and I have been meaning to get one of their albums and listen through

Im already a fan of Rammstein

Their last album, Monster is a damn good one. Wahrheit oder Pflicht is also fantastic, haven't really heard much of their earlier stuff though, which I mean to at some stage.

Really? I think he's a great vocalist. I think they're a terrific band, at least as good as Rammstein, so I'd definitely say give 'em another chance. Here's the song Gott ist ein Popstar.

Haven't listened to most of them tbh. L'Ame Immortelle are quite good if you like female vocalists, and Die Krupps are great:

Beyond that, I don't know much of the rest on the list.

Re: Krieg's list above, I like Eisbrecher, an electronic band that went Rammstein soundalike for their album Antikorper.

Ohne Dich (completely different to the Rammstein song):

Hmm, nobody else? Rather surprising how many people certainly love Rammstein, surely a lot of bands here would tickle their fancy.

Quite fantastic if I do say so myself.

Great song


links rechts gradeaus
du kommst hier nicht mehr raus
links rechts gradeaus
du kommst hier nicht mehr raus

der Wahnsinn hat mich eingesperrt
und deine Heile Welt verzerrt
hat sich in deinen Kopf gepflanzt
lauf, Kind, lauf, so schnell du kannst

du weißt nicht mehr, wer du bist
du weißt nicht mehr, was liebe ist
dein Spiegelbild hat sich entstellt
niemand ist hier, der zu dir halt

klopf klopf, lass mich rein
lass mich dein Geheimnis sein
klopf klopf - klopf klopf
klopf klopf, lass mich rein
lass mich dein geheimnis sein
klopf klopf, lass mich rein
lass mich dein Geheimnis sein

links rechts gradeaus
du bist im Labyrinth
links rechts gradeaus - links rechts gradeaus

keiner kann dir sagen, welche Türen die richtigen sind
mein verlornes Kind
links rechts gradeaus
du bist im Labyrinth
links rechts gradeaus - links rechts gradeaus

keiner kann dir sagen, wer die guten und die bösen sind
mein verlornes Kind

du hast mich oft aus dir verbannt
an meinem Zorn dein Herz verbrannt
dein zweite ich, die zweite Haut
hab ich in deinem Kopf erbaut

wenn ich in deine Seele tauche
und dich für meine Lust gebrauche
dann werd ich deine Sinne blenden
das Spiel kannst nur du selbst beenden

klopf klopf, lass mich rein
lass mich dein Geheimnis sein
klopf klopf - klopf klopf
klopf klopf, lass mich rein
lass mich dein Geheimnis sein
klopf klopf, lass mich rein
lass mich dein Geheimnis sein


The lyrics so you can all sing along


I always loved R+ and I always considered Oomph as Emo and I had never even listened to them. Then recently I heard their song "Augen Auf" and tbh I can't stop listening to them now.

Damn catchy songs
