Fans have eagerly waited for what seems like an eternity, but now, the time has finally come to unveil the new singer of OOMPH! Founding members CR4P and FLUX took all the time they needed to find their fitting third band member, and DER SCHULZ is just that person – combining everything the band has always been known for. From day one, the band searched for a third member who would not just act as a new singer, but who would embody each aspect and process of the band. With DER SCHULZ (known from the band Unzucht), who was involved in the creative aspects and songwriting process on the new album, the band successfully fulfilled their first lineup change in their 34 years of existence. Today, the band is also thrilled to announce their first studio album featuring the new lineup. Kickstarting the new era of OOMPH!, Richter und Henker (Judge & Executioner) will be released on September 8, 2023 via Napalm Records. The 14th studio album from the legendary Neue Deutsche Härte band, who have influenced the entire genre in their time, was once again produced and recorded by the band themselves and combines all of their beloved, established trademarks while strongly looking forward to the future. The first new track and video is set to be released on July 11, 2023. CR4P and FLUX about the band’s new singer:
“DER SCHULZ was always our first choice. Since we have known and appreciated each other for a long time, he was the first singer we approached. Of course, we also met with many other promising applicants in our studio and tried out the collaboration.
In the end, DER SCHULZ convinced us because he manages to revive the feeling of the old OOMPH! songs and we harmonize extremely well on a human and creative level.
He is a strong songwriter and lyricist and has the exact charisma, presence and character we were looking for. We had the right feeling all the way from the start!” Pre-Order Richter und Henker NOW! |
