Radio Nietzsche recently got a chance to talk to Olaf and Albert of German Industrial band Tyske Ludder. They have been making music for over 20 years now and are part of the Black Rain label along with such bands as Feindflug and Jesus and the Gurus.

They put out their new album “Anonymous” last year, and are gearing up for a tour that includes stops in Canada at the famous Festival Kinetik in Montreal, and venues all around Europe.

Fun fact: this entire interview happened due to a comment I made on one of their myspace bulletins. Bands really do read those things, believe it or not!

German NDH band Megaherz are probably most well known by North American fans for their album “Kopfschuss ” and for the vocal talents of band founder, Alexander “Alexx” Wesselsky. But ever since his departure in 2003 to/ for Eisbrecher, the band has gone through a bit of a rough patch with their replacement singer, Mathais Elsholz leaving the band after only 1 album and causing quite a bit of distress in the process.

Skip ahead to 2008 and Megaherz have a new lead singer, Alexander “Lex” Wohnhaas, and a new album “Heuchler”, which debuted higher than any Megaherz album previously. They are back touring and doing large festivals such as the Wave Gotik Treffen, and even rumours of a US tour have surfaced online. Megaherz are back and stronger than ever, and I took this chance to catch up with new lead singer Lex and get this thoughts about the band, the future of Megaherz and even about his new novel.

Unheilig, the NDH band formed in 1999, and consisting of the lyrical and musical talents of founder, Der Graf, has been not only one of my favourite bands of the last decade, but has captured the hearts and imaginations of countless fans from around the world with its haunting and personal music.

After 6 full length albums and 3 live albums, Der Graf is hard at work on the newest album of Unheilig. Despite being extremely busy, he took the time to sit down with Radio Nietzsche and answer many questions that fans from around the world had sent in.

The result was a great interview, and one I hope you enjoy. * (Some questions were answered in one reply so those questions are together)
