[1] An industrial techno… Read Full Bio ↴Nachtmahr is a name of least three artists:
[1] An industrial techno pseudonym of Thomas Rainer (aka L'Âme Immortelle and the defunct Siechtum).
Inspired by numerous years of DJing, 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".
With it, the Austrian Industrial project continued on the uncompromising and relentless path of destruction with their now-trademark heavy distorted beats, driving bass lines, and addictive melodies. This notably lead "Alle Lust will Ewigkeit" to the No. 1 positions for both single and album in the Deutsche Alternative Charts.
In 2010, Nachtmahr's third album "Semper Fidelis" was released, again placing highly in the German charts.
In 2011, Nachtmahr announced plans to expand their live touring scope, landing gigs in Australia, Ireland, and the United Kingdom.

[2] A German black metal band with Thomas Helm and Ulf Schwadorf (of Empyrium). Nachtmahr is an old German synonym for 'nightmare'. The actual year of creation is unsure, since Helm once claimed that the idea for this project reaches back to the mid-90s. The band has released two split EPs. The first EP with Sun of the Sleepless was released in 2004 with Lupus Lounge records. It was followed up by a split EP with Helrunar in 2005. Their style is a concentration of intense, dramatic atmosphere, magical-moody black metal, complemented by two contrasting voices and dramatic keyboards.
[3] A Günzburg, Germany based black metal band.

Nachtmahr Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ob ihr lebt oder krepiert ist mir egal
Ich will euch tanzen sehen...
Boom boom boom!
The lyrics to Nachtmahr's "Boom Boom Boom" express a disregard for the well-being of others and a focus on personal entertainment. The songwriter claims to have only one interest, which is to see people dance, regardless of whether they are alive or dead. This sentiment is reinforced by the repeated phrase "Boom boom boom," which serves as a call to action for the listener to engage in the desired activity of dancing. The lyrics suggest a nihilistic worldview, in which human life is reduced to a mere spectacle for the pleasure of the observer.
The lyrics also reflect the aggressive, industrial sound of the music, characterized by pounding beats and distorted vocals. The repetitive nature of the lyrics and music create a hypnotic effect, encouraging the listener to surrender to the rhythm and lose themselves in the moment. This music is often associated with alternative club scenes, where the emphasis is on individual expression and letting go of inhibitions.

This sounds like it would be a fucking awesome soundtrack for an action platformer. Or any game with tons of color, energy and a bangin' combat system.
...I want to make that game, dammit.
