Megaherz is a German industrial metal group. The band was formed in 1993 in southern Germany.
Megaherz has gone through many changes in musical style from the founding to today. Their early works are a sort of dark alternative metal, comparable to American 90's bands such as Faith No More, whereas recent works are comparable to bands such as OOMPH! and Rammstein.
In October 2002, vocalist Alexx Wesselsky announced that he would be leaving the band because of creative differences, but he would finish the current tour. He officially left the band on January 1, 2003. He has since formed the group Eisbrecher with another departed member, Noel Pix.
In April of the same year, the remaining members announced they had found a new singer: Mathias Elsholz of Twelve after Elf, who was already familiar to fans after his vocals briefly featured on the track "Falsche Götter" (False Gods) from the album Himmelfahrt.
In August 2003, it was again announced that Megaherz was looking for another vocalist, and by June 2004, a new album was under way. Not long after that a new song was released with a small Macromedia Flash animation, thus substantiating the rumours of a new singer. |
