Biography

When at the end of the 1980s, the two New Wave Musician Bruno Kramm and Stefan Ackermann sent their first religious critical demotapes, they could not know that the song sketches on them as "Gottes Tod" and "Satans neue Kleider" will give birth of a new genres, the "Neue Deutsche Todeskunst" (new German death art). Only a few months later this tape served as a hymn of the young gothic scene in the newly reunited Germany - whose magic is still felt in the new millennium today. Since the early works "Satanische Verse" and the album "Die Propheten" they combined drama with music, expressionism with classical music and electronics with Gothic into an unprecedented intensity. They inspired countless bands and expressions across all division boundaries. On extensive, worldwide tours in Europe, USA, South America, Israel and Russia, they not only represented the culture of a new Germany, but helped with the emancipation of their mother tongue from "Schlager" and Krautrock. Between its albums "staub", "egodram", "Lava", "Antichrist" and "Cabaret", Stefan Ackermann and Bruno Kramm had always took a long break of inspiration to develop their own musical language for each epoch and turning. With their controversy and intensive liveshows, they created a reputation which also knows no comparisons over 25 years after "Gottes Tod". To date, Everblacks such as "Kain & Abel" or the technoide VNV Nation remix version of "Destillat" are constant companions of global Gothic parties.
