Hanzel Und Gretyl  


The bizarre duo known as Hanzel Und Gretyl formed in 1993, opting for a techno/industrial style foucusing on futuristic/sci-fi themes. They released two albums in the late nineties, and in fact opened for Marilyn Manson on a couple of tours, but their record label, Energy Records, folded soon after the second album (Transmissions From Uranus, in 1997), and due to legal troubles between the label and band, Hanzel Und Gretyl were dormant for several years, until Metropolis Records signed them in 2003. Reborn, the band has since recorded two more albums, most recently Scheissmessiah. The songs here are anthemic, simplistic yet catchy, heavily industrial metal sung in both German and English (an industrial band singing in German will, of course, invite numerous comparisons to Rammstein, and sure enough, these guys aren't a million miles away from that sound). Though hardly complicated or revolutionary, it's pretty cool stuff, infectious and a solid bet for industrial metal fans.
