Artist:
Joachim Witt
Overview:
With a 30-year career, several top ten hits and albums, and over two million records sold, Joachim Witt literally qualifies as a legend in the music industry. Some of Mr. Witt's fans include members of bands like Rammstein and Eisbrecher, both of whom drew inspiration from Witt's work in the late 90s. He had already made his mark on the German charts with a Top 10 pop hit, "Goldener Reiter," in the early 1980s. But in the late 90s, as Witt developed a darker, more aggressive style, he achieved his biggest hits ever. With the release of his Top 10 album "Bayreuth 1" came a platinum single, "Die Flut," and a growing fan base.
Format:
CD
Details:
How does Joachim Witt summarize the theme of Bayreuth 3? “Condemn Hitler.” With this album, Witt makes a passionate argument against fascism and strives to regain a sense of German culture and art that was shattered by the Nazi regime. An intellectual heir of the romantics of the early19th century, Witt is nevertheless masterful at speaking in a modern voice, delivering well-crafted, hard-hitting cutting edge electro-industrial-metal music that sounds more vital than that of most bands half his age. Recommended for fans of Rammstein, Eisbrecher, KMFDM, and Oomph! Released February 7th on Dancing Ferret Discs.
