Monster! is the tenth album by long-standing German industrial rockers
Oomph! Since their beginnings in 1989,
Oomph! have largely stuck with their industrial sound of buzzsaw guitars, crashing drums, and harsh vocals; by the 2000s, however, they also began to expand their sound, with clean sung vocals, distinctive melodic choruses, and synth pop inflections.
Monster, issued in 2008, was something of a summation of various facets of
Oomph! sound: it was simultaneously heavy and melodic, brutal and elastic, guitar-oriented and synthetic. The first single "Wach Auf!" (Wake Up) wound on the soundtrack for Hollywood sequel
Aliens vs Predator: Requiem. ~ Sergey Mesenov
