OOMPH! Unveil Their Anti-War Anthem “Nur ein Mensch” + Official Video

Watch HERE

New Album, ‘Richter und Henker’,

Out This Friday, September 8, 2023 | Pre-Order NOW!

“We stand face to face

In the name of the nation

brothers kill brothers

war is perversion”

New wave influences are present on heavy and groovy “Nur Ein Mensch” – a future hit and strong sign against warmongering and empty slogans that force hatred and war. The new single comes with a striking official music video that supports to the message of the song. Check the video below and prepare for OOMPH!’s European headline tour this November!

OOMPH! on “Nur Ein Mensch”:

“The song is an anti-war song from the point of view of a soldier at the front. He realizes that we are all the same. We all suffer, we mourn, we bleed the same color, and we have nothing at all personally against the people who are facing us. And yet we allow ourselves to be stirred up against each other by power-hungry and conscienceless despots who profit from war, using the same old mechanisms, and led into the field and thus to our doom. We are only cannon fodder. Expendable!”

The band adds about the video:

“The band performance takes place in the video on several levels. In one level we are symbolically illuminated by constantly changing colors of different national flags of the world. Then there’s a visually powerful layer with projections of war scenes behind us, and another layer with wild strobe effects reminiscent of brutal drumfire at night.”

“Working together in this new constellation has spurred our creativity in the studio to the extreme. There will be some nice musical developments and surprises on the new album, ‘Richter und Henker’, without neglecting our typical OOMPH! constants. Even our usual “test listeners” say the album sounds unmistakably like OOMPH!

“We can’t wait to finally present the songs to you and play them live on tour!”
