Megaherz is a German rock/metal band formed in 1993 in Munich. The project started around Alexander "Alexx" Wesselsky and developed into a key act within Neue Deutsche Härte.

The band began in the mid-1990s and became associated with Neue Deutsche Härte and industrial-influenced metal. Alexander "Alexx" Wesselsky was the original frontman and main songwriter; he left the band in 2003 and later formed Eisbrecher. The band continued with new vocalists (reviews reference Mathias Elsholz as singer on the album 5).

Reviews highlight Megaherz's evolution from alternative/electronic metal toward a heavier NDH/industrial sound. Kopfschuss is framed as a transitional, important album; Wer Bist Du is praised for personality and songwriting. The band's German-language, riff-and-electronics approach is consistently valued.

For:Fans of Neue Deutsche Härte, industrial metal listeners, German-language rock/metal fans, readers of album reviews

 "Kopfschuss" is a crucial junction for the Megaherz of Alexx: it is with this album that the transition occurs from the electro-alternative metal sounds of the early days to the heavier, industrial, and NDH sound that, through "Himmelfahrt", will culminate in "Herzwerk II": transition albums as convincing and successful as this one are rare;

 With "Wer Bist Du?" Megaherz proposes a personal and incisive electronic metal, ennobled by excellent and thoughtful lyrics, ranging from despair, "Wer Bist Du?" to a thirst for revenge, "Schlag Zuruck", with a bit of philosophy, "Die Gedanken Sind Frei" and a pinch of self-irony that never hurts, "Tanzen Gehen", not forgetting the personal re-reading of a traditional German fairy tale, a common point of all Wesselsky's Megaherz albums, "Hanschklein 97" revisited in a dark and dramatic way.

 In conclusion, we can say that Megaherz is one of the few bands in the Metal scene that uses their mother tongue (German) and the only one, alongside Rammstein, in the Industrial Metal scene.
