New single titled 'Lazarus' released by band Das Ich after a 15-year hiatus
After a decade-long hiatus, German darkwave band Das Ich is back with a bang, releasing a new single titled "Lazarus" on August 15, 2025 [1]. This pulsating work between electronic cacophony and classical chamber orchestra [1] is just a taste of what's to come, as the band is set to release their upcoming album "Fanal" on October 31, 2025 [2][3][5].
Founded in 1989 by Stefan Ackermann and Bruno Kramm in Bayreuth, Germany, Das Ich has been known for their orchestral industrial sound and theatrical live performances [6]. Throughout the 1990s and early 2000s, they released several well-received albums, including "Staub," "Egodram," and "Antichrist" [7].
"Lazarus" is not just a return to the music scene for Das Ich, but also a sign of their resilience and determination. The single is part of a 3-track single, and features three different versions: the single version, the Himmelfahrt version, and the Erweckung remix [4].
The upcoming album "Fanal" will be the band's first full album in 15 years [3]. It promises to continue the dark and complex narrative style typical of Das Ich’s work, with themes of resurrection intertwined with death and divine renunciation [1].
