| Oomph! (Music) | comment |
Oomph! (sometimes rendered OOMPH!) is an Industrial Metal band (even though their first album, Oomph!, was an EBM album) founded in 1989 in Wolfsburg, Germany, consisting of Dero Goi, Andreas Crap and Robert Flux. Their second album, Sperm, released in 1994, is widely considered the Ur-Example of Neue Deutsche Härte (or NDH, "New German Hardness"), a German subgenre of Industrial Metal with influences from EBM, featuring such bands as Unheilig, Eisbrecher, Megaherz, ASP and a certain little band that you may have heard of going by the name of Rammstein.Even though they were very influential, they didn't make their big mainstream breakthrough in Germany until 2004, when "Augen auf!", the first single from their album Wahrheit oder Pflicht, was #1 on the German singles chart for 8 consecutive weeks. Moreover, the success of Rammstein, whom they have themselves inspired, contributed to popularise NDH even outside the German-speaking public, and was indeed of help for Oomph! as well.The sound of their music has varied a lot over the years — just compare "Wunschkind" (Wunschkind, 1996) with "Kleinstadtboy" (Des Wahnnsinns fette Beute, 2012). While the first album was strictly EBM, the following albums mostly enstablished themselves within the NDH genre. The turn of the millennium saw the band "softening" their sound and adapting a more Gothic imagery, while The New '10s had the band experimenting with a wide range of genres.After 32 years, the Long Runner Lineup of the band came to an end. In 2021 Dero Goi announced his departure from the band. The reason appears to be his recent conversion to Christianity and his belief that a "rockstar life" no longer suits him. Dero is currently working on a solo project, while both Crap and Flux fully intend to keep the OOMPH! band alive, working on a new album and looking for a new singer. | |

Prayer of Malice | |
| Oomph! (Music) / int_11efa116 | comment |
Prayer of Malice: The second verse of "Gott ist ein Popstar" is a corruption of Lord's Prayer, in which Dero Goi prays to God to have mankind's whims realised, but to have them granted his grace nevertheless. | |

Genre Shift | |
| Oomph! (Music) / int_177a6464 | comment |
Genre Shift: Oomph! are the living embodiment of this trope, thanks to the numerous experimentations during the course of their career. Their first EBM album Oomph! was immediately followed by the more Industrial Metal Sperm, which is considered by many the establishing album for the NDH genre. Plastik represented a turning point by noticeably softening the band's sound, and Wahrheit oder Pflich introduced Gothic Metal elements which have been kept so far, although at a varying level. | |

New Sound Album | |
| Oomph! (Music) / int_22093e9b | comment |
New Sound Album: Sperm takes the first steps into Industrial Metal and shows some Groove Metal influences, moving (partially) away from the previous EBM album Oomph!. Plastik represents a turning point in the band's sound, which gets significantly softened, featuring less aggressive instruments and vocals and more prominent synthesizer riffs. Wahrheit oder Pflich introduces substantial Gothic Metal elements. Des Wahnnsinns fette Beute abandons the previous gothic influences but also distances itself from the more traditional NDH; this album experiments a lot by blending together different and contrasting genres and sounds, sometimes within the same song. | |

Early-Installment Weirdness | |
| Oomph! (Music) / int_4f4372e9 | comment |
Early-Installment Weirdness: Oomph! reached mainstream popularity with their eighth album, Wahrheit oder Pflicht, when the band settled with a softened NDH sound. The numerous newcomers may find very puzzling their album from the 90s, with their harder sound, grittier vocals and overall more violent imagery. But their very first album Oomph!, an EBM album with barely electric guitars, takes the cake. | |

Religion Rant Song | |
| Oomph! (Music) / int_5df06b20 | comment |
Religion Rant Song: "Feiert das Kreuz" ("Celebrate the Cross") ironically instigates people to turn to religion and praise God, but is clearily a type 2. "I.N.R.I. vs JAHWE" ("Jesus vs God"), a type 1, tells in first person of someone calling out God for never rewarding the sacrifices they endured nor the crimes they commited in his name. "Gott ist ein Popstar" is type 2 by comparing God to a popstar, who merely provides the masses with something to obsess over without giving any actual relief from worldly problems. "Menschsein" ("Mankind"/"Being human") is another type 2, stating that humans only use religion as an excuse to destroy each other. | |

Multilingual Song: The first version of "Der neue Gott" ("The new God") has a few sentences in English. This is changed in a "bonus version" which has entirely German lyrics. "Ready or Not (I'm coming)" mantains the word "Eckstein" (that means "cornerstone") in German, to keep the rhyme. Also the countdown from the Creepy Child in the chorus remains in German. | |

| Oomph! (Music) / int_9c1f758a | comment |
Kill It with Fire: "Das letzte Streichholz" ("The final match") tells of a girl on her way to burn down her house, to take revenge on her Abusive Parents, likely with the intention of killing them as well. The music video downplays it, as the girl only burns a big pile of family portraits and possessions, under the hysterical reaction of her abusive mother and siblings. | |

Gratuitous Greek: The old version of "Gekreuzigt" had Dero Goi invoking "Kyrie eleison" ("Lord, have mercy") during the chorus. This was removed in "Gekreuzigt 2006". | |

Rearrange the Song | |
| Oomph! (Music) / int_b24ce4b2 | comment |
Rearrange the Song: "Gekreuzigt" from the album Unrein was rearranged in a new single version in 2006, called (unsurprisingly) "Gekreuzigt 2006", later included in Delikatessen. It differs from the original version for softened riffs and vocals, more in line with the current band's sound, and the removal of the Greek language choir in the chorus. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Oomph! (Music) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: "Brennende Liebe" music video is loosely based on Bride of Frankenstein. "Beim ersten Mal tut's immer weh" music video is one to Hard Candy, which is in turn one to Little Red Riding Hoodnote A Bilingual Bonus if you understand German: the video starts with a chat between the pedophile and the girl he's trying to seduce, and the latter's username is "rotkäppchen15", "littleredridinghood15". "Kleinstadtboy" takes up the title and, partially, the melody and the text of "Smalltown Boy" by Bronski Beat. "Tausend Mann und ein Befehl" ("A thousand men and an order") shouts out "Hundert Mann und ein Befehl" ("A hundred men...") by Freddy Quinn, an anti-war song which, in turn, is a reinterpretation and loose German translation of the patriotic song "The Ballad of the Green Berets". | |

Romanticized Abuse: "Come and kick me" is sung from the perspective of someone who enjoy the abuses and the beatings they receive, begging for more. "Alles aus Liebe" ("Everything out of love") tells of a man who's prepared to suffer any physical violence, any pain, any torment "out of love for her". | |

From GlaubeLiebeTod: the single version of "Die Schlinge" crosses over Oomph! with Apocalyptica, while the single version of "Träumst du?" becomes a duet of Dero Goi and Czech singer Marta Jandová. "Land ahead", the English version of "Land im Sicht", includes of Sharon den Adel from Within Temptation as backing vocalist. | |
