R.I.P. Bruno Kramm (Das Ich, Kramm, Danse Macabre Records)… ‘Die Todgeweihten grüßen dich’

Bruno Kramm, co-founder of Das Ich and pioneer of Neue Deutsche Todeskunst, died unexpectedly on 13 October 1967 in Granada, Spain, collapsing after a performance. Met Stefan Ackermann in 1986 at a Bayreuth club and formed Das Ich in 1989, named after Freud’s psychological concept of the ego. Kramm established Danse Macabre Records to release their work. The 1990–91 EP ‘Satanische Verse’ sparked a revolution in the underground scene and is historically regarded as the blueprint for NDT. Their 1991 debut ‘Die Propheten’ became a genre-defining album with classics including ‘Kain Und Abel’, ‘Gottes Tod’, and ‘Des Satans Neue Kleider’. The follow-up ‘Staub’ (1994) and ‘Die Liebe’ (1995), a collaboration with dark metal band Atrocity, cemented their influence before the band’s later stylistic shift toward electro.
