Bayreuth, Germany (1989 – present)

After many musical experiments, Stefan Ackermann (voices and lyrics) and Bruno Kramm (instruments, music) decided to form Das Ich in 1989.
* In 1989, the band released the demo CD “Satanische Verse” and after another year their debut album “Die Propheten” on Bruno Kramm’s own label, Danse Macabre.

Das Ich skillfully mixed electronic, symphonic and early industrial elements into an explosive cocktail unprecedented in the often cliche ridden German music culture. Das Ich established itself with a fixed position in the scene and became the very epitome of experimental and electronic music.

They are celebrated as the starting spark of a new genre of post wave, post Kraftwerk, post Neubauten era, and successfully led the way in the charts of the independent scene. Tours all over Europe strengthened the position of Das Ich, who quickly got a reputation for being “apocalyptic eccentrics”, since their concerts appear to be evil and bone-jarring spectacles.

* After the release of their maxi CD “Stigma” in 1993, Das Ich went off on an extended tour through all of Europe and the U.S., and in addition played at various festivals, for example the Peter Gabriel WOMAD in Hamburg, as well as at the Documenta in Kassel.

* After that followed what up to now is their most compressed work as well as their least accessible, “Staub”. Its success underpined their precedence. Released right at Christmas time, “Staub” was on the waiting list of the German Media Control Charts for 11 weeks.

I have always hated VNV Nation, and I don't care for (their) remixes either.

It's practically blasphemy that a REMIX - by VNV Nation no less - is the most listened to Das Ich song. Have you people no manners?

@stormchasar: Für mich sind Cabaret, Antichrist und Satanische Verse ungefähr auf einer Höhe. Die Addendum-Compilation ist auch sehr toll. In Lava muss ich noch reinhören. Und ein neues Album ist natürlich immer gern gesehen bzw. gehört. ^^
