About Einstürzende Neubauten
Artist Biography
More than any other group, Einstürzende Neubauten embody industrial music in its most literal sense. The German band helped pioneer the genre with an avant-garde mix of white-noise guitar drones, abrasive vocals, and a clanging, rhythmic din produced by a percussion section consisting of construction materials, power tools, broken glass, and various metal objects. Following the group's more free-form early recordings such as 1981's Kollaps, Neubauten's work became more structured and danceable on albums like 1986's Halber Mensch, then softer and more electronic beginning with 1993's Tabula Rasa. Much of the group's 21st century undertakings, including 2007's Alles Wieder Offen, have been supported by their loyal fan base rather than proper record companies. 2020 full-length Alles in Allem continued to reflect on the past, making references to Berlin's history and the group members' upbringing, while exploring new possibilities and perspectives. 2024's Rampen was self-described as "alien pop music."
