Knochenfabrik is a punk rock band hailing from Cologne, Germany, known for their raw energy and socially conscious lyrics. Emerging on the punk landscape in the mid-1990s, Knochenfabrik carved out a niche for themselves with their distinctive style, combining the aggression and simplicity of punk with German language lyrics that captured both the humor and the struggles of everyday life. The band initially captured the attention of the underground scene with their classic album "Ameisenstaat," which became a staple among punk aficionados for its anthemic melodies and satirical edge.

After a period of inactivity, Knochenfabrik returned to the fray with renewed verve, as evidenced by their string of recent releases. In 2023, they revisited their seminal work with "Ameisenstaat (2023 kernsaniert)" — a fresh take on the original, reaffirming their status in the punk scene and introducing their sound to a new generation. Tracks like "Ich hör dir nicht zu (2023 kernsaniert)" maintain the band's signature blend of pointed lyricism and infectious riffs, ensuring that their message continues to resonate. With a discography that also includes the reflective "Die dunkle Seite der Sonne," the tongue-in-cheek "Sixpack Unboxing," and the updated "Grüne Haare 2.0," Knochenfabrik has demonstrated their ability to evolve while staying true to the essence of their punk roots.
