Becoming a leading member of the german industrial scene, the bavarian trio released the next CD in 2009, that was named “Schmerzfrequenz”.

In 2010 EISENFUNK released their masterpiece. With 8BIT, the band played computer games in everyones heart and collected fans all over the world. Now, 5 years after founding the band, the munich guys are preparing the birthday celebration with “PENTAFUNK”, the 5th release in five years.
The band's current line-up is:
Michael Mayer - Vocals
Arthur Stauder - eDrums, Vocals
Toni Schulz - Keyboard

Schmerzfrequenz
Eisenfunk Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Popkorn und das pure Leiden. Der Tod erstrahlt in 4:3.
Herrlich die Verstümmelung, darwinistisch inszeniert.
Führer schaffen, Führer bannen, all dies ist Dein Einsatzzweck.
Schmerzfrequenz, Mord und Tod auf allen Sendern.
Schmerzfrequenz, Leiden werden archiviert.
Schmerzfrequenz, die Schmerzfrequenz ist aktiviert.
Blut erstrahlt in RGB, schaurig rot zum Abendbrot.
Der Tod, erkommt als Superstar. Massensterben zum Bordeaux.
Herrlich die Verstümmelung, darwinistisch inszeniert.
Führer schaffen, Führer bannen, all dies ist Dein Einsatzzweck.
Schmerzfrequenz, Mord und Tod auf allen Sendern.
Schmerzfrequenz, Leiden werden archiviert.
Schmerzfrequenz, wir sehen es auf allen Sendern.
Schmerzfrequenz, die Schmerzfrequenz ist aktiviert.
The lyrics to Eisefunk's song Schmerzfrequenz describe the disturbing phenomenon of violence and suffering being used as a means to attract audiences and increase ratings in the entertainment industry. The first verse begins by stating that violence is a recipe for success and that suffering equals good ratings. The use of popcorn as a metaphor for the audience consuming the suffering is particularly powerful. The second line describes death being shown in 4:3 screen format, highlighting the normalisation of death and suffering in media.

This song is about television and how it is used for (or can be used for) propaganda, manipulation and to satisfy the appetite for blood and violence. And it criticizes the fact that television (or media in general) is never independent or uninfluenced. Very true in fact. If I may suggest another song about this topic search Youtube for "Blut und Spiele" by Metallspürhunde
