About Nachtmahr
Nachtmahr is an Austrian industrial and electronic music project founded by Thomas Rainer in 2007. Known for its aggressive, militaristic sound and provocative imagery, Nachtmahr combines hard-hitting beats with distorted vocals and harsh electronic instrumentation.
Rainer, who is also the frontman of L’Âme Immortelle, created Nachtmahr as an outlet for his harsher musical ideas. The project’s music is characterized by themes of control, power, and dominance, often portrayed through militaristic aesthetics, drawing inspiration from both cyberpunk and dystopian narratives.
Nachtmahr’s debut EP, “Kunst ist Krieg”, released in 2007, introduced the project’s signature sound, blending pounding beats with controversial, politically charged visuals. The project gained widespread attention with the release of “Feuer Frei” (2008) and subsequent albums like “Alle Lust Will Ewigkeit” (2009) and “Semper Fidelis” (2010). Each album reflects Rainer’s fascination with authoritarian imagery and explores dark, futuristic themes through a combination of industrial noise and EBM.
Rainer describes Nachtmahr as a commentary on power dynamics in society, using confrontational aesthetics to challenge listeners’ perceptions and provoke thought.
