Diesel Christ was a German synthpop project centered on vocalist Tom Berger with a rotating lineup including Klaus Gratzel, Thomas Harder, Chris Karagianidis, Chris Block, and producer Alex Sacher. The group released three primary records: the Depeche Mode tribute album “Diesel Mode (A Tribute To The Masses)” and single “Walking In My Shoes (I Feel Different)” in 1993 via Pop Factory!, the original material EP “Gas Food Lodging” in November 1993 on SPV Records, and a second Depeche Mode tribute “Diesel Mode 97” in 1997 on Fun Factory!. Notably, producer John Fryer, who engineered Depeche Mode’s first two albums, produced half of their original recordings. The project’s debut tribute album emerged remarkably quickly—within two to three weeks of Depeche Mode’s “Songs Of Faith And Devotion” release in March 1993, suggesting access to advance copies. Diesel Christ evolved from the earlier duo Diesel, which released the maxi-single “Nowhereland” in 1990.
