Unheilig

The goth rock band Unheilig, or in English unholy, have over the years produced some very well renowned music, with various influences from pop music, as well as electronic instruments. Although the line up of the band has altered a little over the last 15 years, their sound is still fresh and exciting, bringing originality to the music industry. The band have been nominated for countless awards over the years, and opened their set with the title track from Grobe Freiheit, which won album of the year 2010 at the ECHO awards. Of course it’s a super well known song, so when Henning Verlage stood behind his keyboard and was gesturing for everyone to clap and sing along, we all willingly obliged in the audience.

Part of seeing a band live is about their performance and presence on stage, and Unheilig have mastered this aspect of their show. Bernd Graf, the lead vocalist is a ball of electrical energy, and he didn’t stop dancing or running around the stage for the entire show. They were all great at shouting out to us in the crowd, seeing if we were having fun, and they even took requests for songs! They ended the set with Als Aars Das Erste Mal, and everyone went crazy singing along to their new single. They all gave a fantastic performance, and I’d definitely see them live if you get a chance.

Unheilig is an act that I was familiar with after looking for some German music during my college days. I was excited to hear that they were coming to my area to put on their electronic show and when I went to the venue I knew it was right for them. There were red and white lights that were flashing and the name of the band was on a banner behind the stage and the singer Bernd came out after a short introduction music. He had these piercing white eyes that I assumed were contacts but had a suit on to sing so I knew he meant business. The pop aspect of the music that started playing after they came out made me want to dance and others joined me in dancing when they saw what I was doing. I busted out many dance moves and when Unheilig started playing more of their electronic music the dancing continued. I was able to sing along with the lyrics of Unheilig since I know German and it all made sense but I could tell that some of my fan friends that were around did not understand. However, this does not mean that you must know German to have a good time at his show. All of the dancing and the beats more than made up for the few German words that the other people did not know and I am sure that every time Unheilig comes onto the stage that it is going to be a good time.
