Biography

Berlin based Industrialists Formalin conserve the love for heavy sounds in musical form and manage to reinvent a musical style, that seemed to be shop-worn and dusted: industrial music. Their unique production of modern and oldschool electronic music styles, which they call “Berlin City Industrial”, is raw, aggressive and dirty, but sounds beautifully glamorous, stylish and atmospheric at the same time. The new merging of heavy music with pop and cinematic elements helped the band to gain popularity right from the start. Formalin’s first album “Bodyminding” released in 2010 received an enthusiastic response from the press, electro heads and audiophiles. It led them directly on the stages around Europe supporting felow acts like Nitzer Ebb, KMFDM, Front Line Assembly, Front 242, And One, Die Krupps and many more. On stage, the band unfolds its full conceptual splendor and channels the energy inherent in their songs perfectly. The mixture of fetish aesthetic, fashion and visuals in combination with a dynamic performance creates a first-class audiovisual experience. Arrived in 2021 Formalin will release their fourth long-player, which will be introduced by several singles beforehand. Taking their well known heavy electronic sound, Formalin now expands it with smacking acoustic drums and piercing electric guitars.
