Hanzel Und Gretyl

+

Hanzel und Gretyl was spawned by Kaizer Von Loopy and Vas Kallas in 1993. In 1994, they recorded a demo entitled "Kindermuzik", and were signed by Energy Records , a small record label based in New York. They recorded and released their first full-length album "Ausgeflippt" in 1995. After several local shows on Manhattan's lower east side, they embarked on two US tours with Marilyn Manson in '95 and '96. In 1997, they released their second full length album, "Transmissions From Uranus", which subsequently lead the band to tour with Prong and gave them even broader exposure nationally.

In 1998, Energy Records went out of business shortly after Hanzel und Gretyl toured the US in support of Rammstein on their first ever headlining tour of the states. In 2002, the band signed to Metropolis Records and immediately began recording for their long anticipated third album, "Uber Alles", which was released in 2003. Following the release of the album, the band toured for a few months as a headliner and in support of The Genitorturers after which they returned to the studio to record a new album.

In September 2004, the band released their fourth album, "Scheissmessiah" touring the states both as a headliner and in support of Al Jourgensen's Ministry. In 2006, the band toured across America yet again upon the release of the 4 song EP, "Oktotenfest 2006", which also included a full scale UK tour in support of Cradle of Filth in 2007. Shortly thereafter, they began work on their fifth full-length album, "2012: Zwanzig Zwölf" released in February 2008. The album's central motif follows the Mayan theory that the world will end in 2012, and the band posits the subsequent extinction of the human race following one last rock concert.
