Megaherz

The Profile

Megaherz are a German Neue Deutsche Harte/industrial metal band from Munich, formed in 1993 and active to the present. Early releases like Wer bist du (1997) and Kopfschuss (1998) defined their mix of heavy riffs, electronic textures, and German-language lyrics. Over time they evolved through albums such as Himmelfahrt, Herzwerk II, 5, Heuchler, Götterdämmerung, Zombieland, and Komet.

Reviews highlight Megaherz as a Bavarian/Munich NDH band. Early demo: Herzwerk (1995); debut: Wer bist du (1997); Kopfschuss (1998) marked a shift toward a heavier NDH sound. Lineups cited include Alexx Wesselsky (vocals), Noel Pix (keyboards), Christian "X-Ti" Bystrom (guitar), Wenz Weninger (bass), with drummers Tommy Eberhard and later Frank Gegerle. Noted songs include "Gott Sein", "Freiflug", and a cover of Falco’s "Rock Me Amadeus". Lyrics are in German.

DeBaser’s reviews frame Megaherz as a key NDH force: Bavarian roots, heavy riffs, and electronic muscle. Wer bist du (1997) showcases a balanced, bass-forward style and sharp German lyrics. Kopfschuss (1998) is praised as a crucial transitional step toward a heavier NDH sound, with standouts like Freiflug and a Falco cover. Album 5 highlights the blend of hard guitars and electronics. Overall sentiment is strong and appreciative.
