Das Ich is a German electronic music group formed in 1989. The group, fronted by

Stefan Ackermann and Bruno Kramm, were one of the prominent founders of and

contributors to "Neue Deutsche Todeskunst" (New German Death Art) a musical

movement in the early 1990s. The German term das Ich makes reference to the

Freudian concept James Strachey translated as "ego" (lit. "The I").

Their first full-length album, Die Propheten, was released in Germany in 1991 and

was reissued in the US in 1997, selling over thirty thousand copies. In 1996, the

album Egodram saw the group moving towards a more rhythmic, industrial

dance-oriented sound, resulting in the club singles "Kindgott" and "Destillat".

The album was followed by an American tour in 1996 and 1997. This was followed by

1998's Morgue, a concept album based on the work of Gottfried Benn.

In 1999 they released a remix album, Re-Laborat, that included work done by

popular electro-industrial bands. Bruno Kramm released his solo spin off Coeur in

2000.

In 2001, Das Ich released the album Antichrist, which is a critical reflection on

world politics. In 2002 the Best Of Album Relikt was released.

In 2004 they released the double album Lava,made of:
Lava:Glut: Disc with more instrumental than industrial tracks.
Lava:Asche: Disco with dance versions of song from Lava:Glut.

and in 2006 they released an additional dual album:
Cabaret: Disc with circus style songs,like the name implies, and more

instrumental.
Varieté: Disc with remix vercions of Cabaret, made by bands like Stillste Stund,

Metallspürunde , FabrikC.ect
