The founding members are Andy Krüger (vocals/composition), Edgar Slatnow (synthesizer/lyrics), and Kay Hildebrandt (synthesizer/production). The band initially called themselves The Vermin, however, as their lyrics were exclusively in German, they decided to change their name to Melotron for their debut album.

In terms of production, Melotron focuses on longevity. Since their debut album Mörderwerk, they have worked with successful indie and techno producer Olaf Wollschläger at the Weltherren-Studios/Buir (Kerpen). In 2006, the band decided to explore new avenues in this area and also worked with successful alternative producer Dirk Riegner.

On February 9th, 2007, Melotron competed in the Bundesvision Song Contest for their state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern with their song "Das Herz."

Melotron has taken part in various significant electronic and industrial festivals, including the Wave Gotik Treffen festival in 1999, 2003, 2004, 2005, and 2012, as well as the M'era Luna Festival in 2001, 2003, and 2005.

The band has released several albums over the years, starting with "Mörderwerk" in 1999 followed by "Fortschritt" in 2000. Two years later, they released "Weltfrieden" in 2002, followed by "Sternenstaub" in 2003. "Cliché" was released in 2005, and "Propaganda" came out two years later in 2007. In 2014, the band released "Werkschau," and their most recent album to date is "Für Alle" which was released in 2018.

Tanz mit dem Teufel
Melotron Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Guten Menschen wachsen Flügel
Nur ich bin ein schwarzes Schaf
Doch vorbei ist meine Trauer
Denn er spricht zu mir im Schlaf
Ich verlaß den Pfad der Tugend
Treff jetzt meine eigne Wahl
Laß mich nicht von euch vertrösten
Eure Welt ist mir egal

Jeder steht sich selbst am nächsten
Und was kostet schon Moral
Tanz mit dem Teufel
Tanz mit dem Teufel
Tanz mit dem Teufel
Durch die Nacht
Tanz mit dem Teufel
Durch mein Leben
Tanz mit dem Teufel
Bis er lacht
Wenn im Winter Engel frieren
Ist die Hölle kuschlig warm
Laß mich deine Feuer spüren
Teufelsmacht hat ihren Charme
Tanz mit dem Teufel
Tanz mit dem Teufel
Tanz mit dem Teufel
Durch die Nacht
Tanz mit dem Teufel
Um mein Leben

Tanz mit dem Teufel
Bis er lacht

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Melotron's song Tanz mit dem Teufel depict a person who feels like a black sheep as they have chosen to abandon the path of virtue and morality, and instead have chosen to embrace the devil. The person has stopped caring about the world around them and only cares about themselves. The devil speaks to them in their dreams and helps them overcome their sorrow. The person believes that everyone looks out for themselves and that there is no room for morality in this world. The song invokes the audience to dance with the devil through the night, and to feel the warmth of hell. The devil is seen as charming and powerful, and the person is drawn towards the seduction of the devil's power.

The song seems to portray the idea of abandoning morality and embracing the darker side of human nature. The person in the song seeks comfort and connection with the devil, which contrasts with the traditional values of good and evil. The song suggests that the devil is an alluring and powerful force that can provide for the person's needs and desires. The lyrics also highlight the theme of individualism, as the person chooses to follow their own path and not conform to the morality of society.

Overall, the song can be interpreted as a cautionary tale about the seduction of evil and the consequences that come with abandoning morality. It demonstrates that while the devil may promise power and freedom, it ultimately leads to the destruction of oneself.
