It released music on the Dancing Ferret Discs record label.

Neuroticfish’s sole member was Sascha Mario Klein. Klein cites his musical inspirations as such bands as Skinny Puppy, Nine Inch Nails, and Depeche Mode, and began experimenting with music on his own in the early 90’s. After Neuroticfish was born, Klein did not make the typical efforts of a muscian to send out a demo; instead, he relied on the internet as a medium of expression for his music. Klein was eventually offered a place on a synthpop compilation called A Reflexion of Synthpop. From this point on, Neuroticfish gained popularity in the club scene, where he has made an impact ever since.

Klein gained a bit of notoriety after one of his songs contained the sample "Electronic body music is dead." It has since become somewhat of a catchphrase for Neuroticfish.

On January 4th 2008 the official Neuroticfish MySpace page had a message announcing that the band would cease to exist after its performance at the 2008 edition of the Wave Gothic Treffen festival in Leipzig, Germany.

In July 2012 the website was updated after the project seemed finished. The latest updates say that Sascha and Henning Verlage are working together during Winter 2012 and Spring 2013 on a new album.

In 2015 Neuroticfish released "A Sign Of Life", his first album in 10 years. It is exclusively sold at the band's page at Bandcamp, digitally, and physical albums only being sold at Neuroticfish's regular web page.

Overall Meaning

Neuroticfish's song "Black Again" is a song that delves into the concept of nostalgia and memories. The lyrics speak about how memories and experiences from the past can suddenly resurface and reappear in a person's mind, as if the faces in those memories turn black again. This can be interpreted as the darkness that comes with reliving a past experience or as a way to express the sadness that comes with knowing that certain memories have faded away and will never be as vivid as they once were.

The theme of the song can also be seen as an observation on how certain people and events in our past often overshadow and cloud our present, hence the "black again" reference. It is almost like as if time has reversed itself, and we are once again reliving past emotions and experiences as though they were happening again.

Line by Line Meaning

And then the faces turn black again,
Once more, my recollections evoke the painful transformation of people's visage into obscurity.

In my memories.
These occurrences are solely present in the vaults of my remembrances.
