Wunschkind by OOMPH!
What innocently commences with the tunes of a little music box soon turns into a feeling of pure anxiety: Wunschkind is the first concept album in OOMPH!`s history and lyrically tackles the horrible and sensitive topic that is child abuse. No wonder the music itself echoes the fragile contents in dark and malign, atmospheric fashion. Still, ‘I.N.R.I. vs .Jahwe‘ turned out to be a big club hit for the band in 1996, and the other tracks feast on heavy, menacing riffing with an electronic backbone. Wunschkind is probably the most important album in OOMPH!`s career: major labels showed interest in the trio right after the release, and CRAP, DERO and FLUX would soon have to get used to massive chart success without ever sacrifing their integrity

Since their formation in 1989, OOMPH! has emerged as a highly influential band that has even inspired later Neue Deutsche Härte giants such as Rammstein. With "Richter und Henker", the masters prove that they remain a leading force in the scene, even after their first line-up change in more than 30 years of existence.
