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.
Pain
Neuroticfish Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I found my heart, I can't explain,
The feeling you merited in my heart.
This feeling could tear me apart.
Outside I am cold,
But inside I'm on fire.
Its you, I wanted to hold.
This is the-end.
This is the end.
Now your body is lying there,
Without a word to say.
There is no breath in the air,
I know you are far away.
The feelings of what I've done,
The words that I've been told
Are coming closer to my mind, and make my head explode,
'cause this is the end.
This is the-end.
This is the end.
I realize what I have done,
I realize the pain has begun.
I realize this cold cold heart,
I realized I teared you apart.
The pain now grows bigger in me.
The pain now is killing me.
But there is no hope, no help to see...
I KILLED YOU AND YOU KILLED ME!
