The Profile

Formed in Wolfsburg in 1989, Oomph! is a German trio (Dero Goi, Andreas Crap, Robert Flux) credited in reviews as a pioneering act of Neue Deutsche Härte, evolving from electronic/industrial beginnings to heavier, melodic material across a long career.

Early releases appeared on Machinery/Dynamica; the band later released albums on Virgin and Sony BMG. Their 2004 single "Augen Auf!" and the album Wahrheit Oder Pflicht brought major commercial success in Germany. Reviews cited their influence on the NDH scene and noted frequent stylistic shifts across albums.

DeBaser's Danny The Kid reviews trace Oomph!'s evolution from a 1992 electronic-industrial debut to a defining force in Neue Deutsche Härte. Reviews praise Dero Goi's vocal charisma and the band's willingness to change styles across albums. Key high points identified include Wunschkind and Monster; some albums (e.g., Plastik, Ego) drew mixed reactions. Overall the corpus treats Oomph! as influential, inventive, and frequently underrated.
