Official Homepage
Eisbrecher is a German Industrial Metal/Electronic music band that consists primarily of Alexx Wesselsky (Vocals) and Noel Pix (Lead Guitar/Programming), with live support of Felix Primc (Guitar), Miguel Benhke (Bass), René (Drums), and Maximator (Keyboards/Programming). Their style belongs to the so called Neue Deutsche Härte (New German Hardness) sub-genre. The band's sound can be compared to the world famous German Tanz-Metall band Rammstein.

After leaving Megaherz due to creative differences in 2003, Alexx Wesselsky got together with Noel Pix, who composed the synths and programming for Megaherz's albums Himmelfahrt and Kopfschuss. Eisbrecher is the brainchild of the two combining their musical ideas, concepts, and the like.

The band's name in translation from German means "Icebreaker". The band's lyrics and slogans often include terms of ice and sailing, such as "Ahoi" (Ahoy) and "Es wird kalt" (It's getting cold). The band's frontman, Alexx Wesselsky, often wears sailor's and military clothing in performances.

While the self-titled debut album Eisbrecher has more of an EBM and electronic sound, its successive release, Antikörper, has a far heavier, metallic style. However, the band remains true to its roots, and the similarity between albums is not entirely unrecognisable, ensuring the group's identity remains firmly attached to the industrial metal genre.
