Melotron is a futurepop and synthpop band from Germany. [1] In 1995 Andy Krueger, Edgar Slatnow and Kay Hildebrandt left their former band, The Vermin, to form Melotron. [2] The band found success with their first single, "Dein Meister," in 1998. Their 2007 single "Das Herz" charted at no. 81 in the German mainstream charts. [3]
Until 2007, Melotron was a band with mostly German-only lyrics (the chorus of the B-Side "2 Young 2 Die" on their inaugural single release, "Dein Meister", was sung in English amid German verses). However, on their album Propaganda, "Broken" is sung entirely in English.
Melotron has performed at a number of major electronic and industrial festivals, amongst these the Wave Gotik Treffen festival in 1999, [4] 2003, [5] 2004, [6] 2005, [7] and 2012, and the M'era Luna Festival in 2001, 2003, and 2005. [8]
In the American television show Saturday Night Live, the recurring sketch " Deep House Dish" uses Melotron's song "Der Kosmonaut" as an opening.
There have also been re-releases for earlier works. Originally on Zoth Ommog, the band has also released albums on Synthetic Symphony, Bloodline and SPV, as well as Metropolis Records (in the United States).
