Read Full Bio ↴OOMPH! is an industrial rock band from the neue deutsche härte scene.
OOMPH! consists of:
Robert Flux (guitar, mixing)
Andreas Crap (lead guitar, keyboards)
Leo (live drums)
Hagen (live bass)
The band was formed in 1989 in Wolfsburg, Germany. They are one of the founders of the fusion of hard metal music and industrial sounds known as Neue Deutsche Härte.
OOMPH! owed a lot to Nitzer Ebb in their self-titled debut (1992). OOMPH!'s change of style for the successor "Sperm" (1994), with a more guitar-driven metal sound mixed with their electronic roots, inspired numerous musicians, most famously Rammstein, to follow their lead. (Rammstein have cited OOMPH! in several interviews as their main inspiration.)
OOMPH! released their first album on Jor's Machinery label, then releasing their consecutive albums on its sister-label Dynamica. They stayed with Jor, until his labels disappeared during the acquisition by Sanctuary Records at around 1996/1997.
Following Dynamica OOMPH! finally signed with Virgin Schallplatten. With the benefits of major-label status OOMPH! gained a larger following, and toured with labelmates Skunk Anansie in 1999. Between 1998 and 2001 they released three albums on the Virgin label, fulfilling their contract, but did not continue, feeling that the record company never fully explored their potential.
In 2004 OOMPH! released their first single "Augen auf!" on a new label, this time on Supersonic Records, part of the Sony BMG group of music companies. It marks their first Number One hit ever in Germany, thus eventually bringing forth their major commercial breakthrough. It became part of the FIFA 2005 soundtrack.
The band's ninth record, GlaubeLiebeTod was released in March 2006, including the controversial single "Gott ist ein Popstar" and its follow-up "Das letzte Streichholz", the third single was Die Schlinge.
In 2007, they won the third Bundesvision Song Contest (a contest between the sixteen states of Germany) for Lower Saxony (Niedersachsen) with "Träumst du?", which featured Marta Jandová from Die Happy.
While OOMPH! are not widely known within the United States, the band did perform at a New York festival in 1993. In Europe they have performed at M'era Luna, Ozzfest, Dynamo Open Air and Wacken Open Air.

Unter deiner Haut
Hab' ich durch die Gene
In das Nichts geschaut
Du hast mein Herz in der Hand, es brennt
Ich weiß ich kann mich befreien
Du hast mein Herz in der Hand, es brennt
Sex hat keine Macht
Sex hat keine Macht
Du blutest nicht genug für mich
Küss' mich noch ein letztes Mal
Tief in deiner Kehle
Irgendwo im Schlund
Geh' ich deiner Seele
Langsam auf den Grund
Du hast mein Herz in der Hand, es brennt
Ich weiß ich kann mich befreien
Du hast mein Herz in der Hand, es brennt
Hörst du mich tief in dir schreien
Sex hat keine Macht
Sex hat keine Macht
Du blutest nicht genug für mich
Küss' mich noch ein letztes Mal
Sex hat keine Macht
Sex hat keine Macht
Du blutest nicht genug für mich
Küss' mich noch ein letztes Mal
Sex hat keine Macht
Sex hat keine Macht
Du leidest nicht genug für mich
Täusch' mich noch ein letztes Mal
The lyrics to Oomph!'s song "Sex" address the power dynamics in a sexual relationship. The singer has delved deep into their lover's body and soul, but despite this intimacy, they feel trapped and powerless. They describe their heart as burning and feel as though their lover holds it in their hand. The repeated refrain "sex has no power" highlights the singer's frustration with the lack of control they have in this situation.
The second verse focuses on the physicality of the relationship, with the singer describing their exploration of their lover's throat and soul. However, they still feel as though they are sinking deeper and deeper into their lover's control, with no way to escape. The repeated plea to "kiss me one last time" suggests that the singer is at the end of their rope and wants to break free from this unhealthy dynamic.

Gott Ist Ein Popstar
Oomph is extremely underrated. Rammstein are huge. Probably one of the biggest bands in the world at the moment and one of my favorite bands of all time, but it's a real shame that the pioneers of NDH don't get nearly close to the recognition they deserve. These guys deserve to be playing in front of stadiums. They're fucking awesome
Aida Cailar
Agree. They’re very underrated.

Exactly

@xFinikoxa i was just reading up on this, pretty much the band is still standing and are going to find a new lead singer, it looks like he left on good terms.
Larion Pucánková
well they inspired Rammstein, so yes they are underrated
DerKerlMann67
@Jonathan Slama yep but after that dero stated he would be continuing his solo career, do i hope they stay together? yes, but i would not want them to stay together because they feel pressured to do so
