CVII. Xmal Deutschland | Devils





















Devils
©Metronome. Deutschland, 1989.


Xmal Deutschland were formed in Hamburg in 1980 by five female musicians and debuted with the singles Schawarze Welt (Zick-Zack) and Incubus Succubus. Three of the original founders (Anja Huwe on vocals, Manuela Rickers on guitar, Fiona Sangster on keyboards) and two new recruits (Wolfgang Ellerbrock on bass and Manuela Zwingmann on drums) cut the album 'Fetisch' (4AD, 1983), which established them in the British circuit of gothic dance-music and dark-punk. Mixing those styles with the austere angst of expressionism, tracks such as Qual aimed at coining a new form of dance. After second album 'Tocsin' (1984), the singles 'Jahr um Jahr' (Xile, 1985) and 'Matador' (Xile, 1986), and third album 'Viva' (1987), the band members split, with Huwe and Ellerbrock recording as Palais Schaumburg the album 'Devils' (1989).
