Furthermore, the song "Robot Logik" from the same album was used in radio commercials for the Howard Stern Show. During the same year, Hanzel und Gretyl's song "9D Galactik Center" appeared in New Line Cinema's Mortal Kombat: Annihilation and was also played at the 1997 MTV Music Awards. In between shows on Prong's Cold Fusion tour, Hanzel und Gretyl headlined a Halloween show in Des Moines, Iowa with hometown band Slipknot in direct support. This led the band to tour the US extensively with Tommy Victor's Prong, giving them even broader exposure nationally. The enhanced CD was again cited for its progressive-minded musical stylings and groundbreaking technological advances. In 1997, they released their second full-length album, Transmissions From Uranus, that featured a video game in which the object was to transform Loopy and Vas into alien-like insectoid space creatures. Performing only several local shows on Manhattan's lower east side, they were recruiter to provide support on two US tours in 19 with Marilyn Manson.
The single "Shine 2001" topped the Alternative Press dance chart at No. HuG recorded and released their first full-length album, Ausgeflippt, in October 1995. In January 1995, after refusing offers from at least one major label to resubmit their demo with only English lyrics, they signed with Energy Records, an indie record label based in New York City. Of the 200 cassette tapes manufactured, most were sent to record labels and fanzines and some were sold on consignment at a local music store called Bleeker Bob's. In April, 1994, they completed a demo entitled "Kindermusik". Hanzel und Gretyl are an American industrial metal band founded in New York City, NY by Kaizer Von Loopy and Vas Kallas in February 1993. We have all seen band members crowd surf at a show, but this crowd surfing took place on the stage.Hanzel und Gretyl - Satanik Germanik - 2018 More for the party, eh? T hen I saw something completely unique. They ripped off song after song for over two hours and launched into a final song that included pulling a lot of audience members onto the stage with them. One got the feeling that these were experienced hands at crowd pleasing. The Bass player was equally talented and entertaining.
This band needed no special effects, they were a special effect! With the singer/guitarist putting down the instrument from time to time so she could work the crowd, and work them she did. They lyrics and vocal tone quality were HARDCORE METAL with a little bit of industrial club sound bringing up the rear. The bands Singer/Guitarist belted out tones that few have ever heard from, much less associated with a, female. Thats a girl? was the question in their eyes. The inevitable "Double Take" occured just after the singer VAS opened her mouth. It was a surprise for those who were not familiar with this group.
The band took the stage after 2 DJ's (Bone and ArKady) had finished spinning some awesome Goth Industrial for the well dressed and sensually oriented crowd on hand. If this is what became of our childhood fairy tailes friends, it was a good thing they cooked the witch. There I wuz at our favorite music venue, Blue Cats Live and who did appear but Hanzel und Gretyl. Tale of the Stage: Hanzel Und Gretyl Docket: What a freaking show.
