Hanzel Und Gretyl are an industrial death metal group formed by members Kaizer Von Loopy and Vas Kallas in 1993.
In 1994, they recorded a demo entitled "Kindermuzik", and were signed by Energy Records , a small record label based in New York City. They recorded and released their first full-length album "Ausgeflippt" in 1995. After several local shows on Manhattan's lower east side, they embarked on two U.S. tours with Marilyn Manson in '95 and '96. In 1997, they released their second full length album, "Transmissions From Uranus", which subsequently lead the band to tour with Prong and gave them even broader exposure nationally.
In 1998, Energy Records went out of business shortly after Hanzel und Gretyl toured the U.S. in support of Rammstein on their first ever headlining tour of the states. In 2002, the band signed to Metropolis Records and immediately began recording for their long anticipated third album, "Uber Alles", which was released in 2003. Following the release of the album, the band toured for a few months as a headliner and in support of The Genitorturers after which they returned to the studio to record a new album.
In September 2004, the band released their fourth album, "Scheissmessiah" touring the states both as a headliner and in support of Al Jourgensen's Ministry. In 2006, the band toured across America yet again upon the release of the 4 song EP, "Oktotenfest 2006", which also included a full scale U.K. tour in support of Cradle of Filth in 2007. Shortly thereafter, they began work on their fifth full-length album, "2012: Zwanzig Zwölf" released in February 2008. The album's central motif follows the Mayan theory that the world will end in 2012, and the band posits the subsequent extinction of the human race following one last rock concert.
In January of 2009 Hanzel und Gretyl kicked off the first leg of an extensive headlining world tour including shows in The Netherlands, France, Belgium and Spain. Their "World Fukken Tour 2009" will continue through November and includes shows and festival appearances in Europe, U.K., Scandinavia, Russia, Ukraine, New Zealand and Australia as the demand for Hanzel und Gretyl continues to grow exponentially worldwide and across the universe! P*R*O*S*T*!
