Biography

There are at least three bands using the name ‘Nachtmahr’.

1) Nachtmahr is the solo project of Thomas Rainer (also known for his other projects: L’Âme Immortelle and the now defunct Siechtum). Nachtmahr’s musical style is best characterized as Industrial Techno.

Inspired by numerous years of DJing, Nachtmahr is self-described as “the missing link between merciless and provocative industrial music and the hammering power of techno”.

The first release, “Kunst ist Krieg (i.e., Art is War)”, and it’s club hit, “BoomBoomBoom”, quickly became worldwide industrial club staples and earned the band a slot on the soundtrack of the American blockbuster movie, SAW IV.

However, the success of the EP was far surpassed with the release of the full-length album, “Feuer frei”. The club single “Katharsis” dominated the clubs for months, helping the album to stay in the top 10 of the German Deutsche Alternative Charts (DAC) for more than 6 weeks. Germany’s biggest and most influential dark music magazine, ORKUS, even stated “Feuer frei” was “the new standard for the electro industrial genre”.

During this period, Nachtmahr extensively toured through North and Central America, Europe, and Russia - including major worldwide festivals like Wave-Gotik-Treffen, Kinetik Festival, and M’era Luna - whilst preparing their second full time assault, “Alle Lust will Ewigkeit”.

    Veni Vidi Vici is alright, not better than any of the previous albums.

    i'm kinda underwhelmed by VVV, it's a well-produced continuation of the previous LPs, but lacks innovation - the only song that features something new is Mütterchen Russland in my opinion

    Nothing new, little bit boring, just like Semper Fidelis.

    Few tracks on this new one is quite powerful. "Die letzten Dämme" for example, that shit is so epic. But compared to the previous records, it's kinda bleak.
