Die Krupps are known as the pioneers of industrial-EBM and industrial-metal genres. Since their early days, they have been experimenting with sound wisely by merging different styles and embracing new ideas. Exploring different paths with their music made their expression unique and recognizable. They have influenced many later bands and they are always warmly welcomed by the fans all over the world. Today we are speaking with Jürgen Engler about Die Krupps, the band…

  We‘ve managed to talk to Andi of Sex Gang Children just before the start of their Jezebel tour. The band has often been labelled as “gothic”, during its long existence it gathered the audience who followed it since the 80s, and with its albums Song and Legend from 1983 and Medea from 1993 it left a mark on that part of the “alternative” scene. 1. Andi, I guess you would disagree with any label…

  1. Hello Kim, so nice to have you here. You have been “around” for quite some time and hopefully you will keep on thrilling us with your releases. It has been a while since you started your project Of The Wand & The Moon and since its first release back in 1999. Looking back, how do you feel about this journey today? Kim: Thank you for the interest and taking time to do the…

  1. Andy and Tina have been present on the music scene for quite a long time. When and how exactly was No More formed? What lead you to the decision to start your music career so long ago? Tina: I don’t know if I would call it a decision. Andy: Or a career 😉 Tina: We started in 1979 in our German hometown Kiel. Andy, Christian Darc and me were in a schoolband, but…

  1. Hello Ash Code and thank you for being here. Even as a fairly “young” band on the scene, you surely don’t sound so. Can you tell us how and when exactly you started developing as musicians and how did the whole process lead you to forming Ash Code? Alessandro: Me and my brother Adriano have been playing since when we were kids. We had another band before, and we played a different kind…

AltVenger had an exclusive interview with Saigon Blue Rain. This French dark wave band just released its second album Noire Psyché and we were quite curious to know some facts about ’em! Hello, introduce Saigon Blue Rain. Saigon Blue Rain is an ethereal wave band from Paris (even if it will be based in South East of France in a few months), and consists of Franck and Ophelia, plus our bassist Gilles on stage. I’m…

  It’s been a long ride for The Cassandra Complex since the first album released in 1986 up until now. Only 30 years later, I am having a chat with Rodney Orpheus, who I think needs no further introduction. 1. On your web site you say about Grenade, and I cite “some of it sounds kinda naive over twenty years later“. Is that really how you feel about it? It surly does not sound naive…

  1. I am delighted to have the opportunity to interview John von Ahlen, the driving force behind Parralox, the Australian electro-pop project. Although formed in 2008, you were not idle, you released your debut album “Electricity” the very same year. When listening to it, I feel it is influenced by some old school synth pop music, very poppy, vibrant and danceable. How do you feel about it looking back in time? I’m quite happy…

  1. Germany seems to be a fertile ground for the electro scene, and ROOT4 plays a great part in it as well. We would like to get to know ROOT4 a little bit better, so can you tell us who ROOT4 are? How did you guys meet and what drew you together? Hauke: Till 2006 ROOT4 used to be a pure electro band. In 2007 Martin saw my band and he said „Hey, you…

  Sometimes some things come our way by mere chance… or was it destiny that I discovered Parade Ground? I was sorry, however; that I have not discovered this great duo many years ago, but it´s never too late for some good music to reach you! So, in 2016 I have the opportunity to have a little chat with the Parade Ground guys, Pierre and Jean-Marc, but as I say; it´s never too late and…
