Hermann Kopp started making music in the late seventies of the XX century but he only reached a broader public in the eighties when he participated in the soundtracks of Jörg Buttgereit’s films Nekromantik and Der Todesking. In the nineties he exiled from Germany and remained far from the public eye until the label Vinyl On Demand rediscovered him and released two albums with his music. He then became one of the artists of the German industrial label Galakthorrö which wrote about him as follows:“Hermann Kopp plays Angst melodies of godlike beauty. The sounds of horror to perfection: Not just on the violin – alongside mallets, and all sorts of unusual instruments – electronics play a great role in Hermann Kopp’s musical happenings. Synthesizer, vocoder, theremin, loops and sound design – genially combined with the transporting rhythms of delicately clattering metal percussion. Mixed all together, sometimes also with vocals, it becomes a form of industrial-music which stands on its own merits.”
