Biographie:
Eisregen was a German, lyrically extreme, dark metal band which was founded in 1994. The members are from Tambach-Dietharz, a village in Thüringen (Thuringia). By using morbid German lyrics unlike those of other bands of this genre, they got the attention of German authorities, causing the banning of two of their albums. The reason given was the lyrics, described as "grausam, menschenverachtend, frauenfeindlich, verrohend und sozial-ethisch desorientierend" (cruel, inhuman, misogynistic, brutalising and socially/ethicly desorienting).
Allthough they were often accused of have racist tendencies in their songs, they describe themselves as non-political and if you understand the lyrics you won't be able to find any Nazi attitudes.
You will find more lyrics, which pronounce their love to Thuringia and Germany.
Michael Roth (vocals) and Michael Lenz (guitar) have a sideproject "Eisblut".
Yantit and 2T also have a sideproject calles "Transilvanian Beat Club"
