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”.

    I've been making hardstyle, hardcore, classical, game remixes, and many more but I always enjoy making ebm/industrial out of them all! Nachtmahr is amazing and I always listen to his tracks as a way to get a moral boost even with music block :D!

    I think I'm the only one who likes L'Ame Immortelle much more than Nachtmahr. For most people I've seen it's the other way around. Oh well :D
