kontrollexperiment

Kontrollexperiment is a German pop band from Wittenberg, formed in 1992. The group consists of Philip Sellmeier, Tilman Margus, and Sven Hermann. Kontrollexperiment is primarily associated with the crossover genre, blending elements of industrial rock, hardcore, and electronic music.

Their debut album, "1999", released in 1999, received attention from critics for its eclectic style. A mix of heavy distorted guitars and atmospheric electronic passages characterized the group's sound during this period.

Kontrollexperiment's lyrics often deal with themes related to technology, societal critique, and emotional introspection. Their style has been described as aggressive and high-energy, yet with a pertinent lyrical facet that attempts to address broader conceptual ideas.

The band gained a following within the crossover and industrial rock scenes in Germany. Notably, kontrollexperiment has shared stages with notable acts like L'Amour der Fliegen, letzte freundin, and entrusted.

Following the release of their 2005 album "k.al", the band appears to have reduced their active performance schedule and updated their website infrequently, suggesting a possible hiatus. The status of the group beyond this period, including any current activity or changes in direction, is difficult to confirm due to the lack of recent information.

Despite their snippets of popularity within niche electronic and hardcore genres, kontrollexperiment have maintained a somewhat underground presence throughout their career, leaving behind an eclectic but coherent discography.
