Eisregen is a German extreme metal band known for their unflinching and often controversial lyrical content, as well as their unique blend of black metal, death metal, and elements of darkwave and gothic music. The Thuringia-based group was formed in 1995 by vocalist Michael "Blutkehle" Roth and guitarist Michael "Bursche" Lenz, who have remained constant members amidst various lineup changes over the years. Eisregen is recognized for their provocative and macabre storytelling, delving into subjects that deal with horror, death, and other taboo topics, which has led to them repeatedly encountering issues with German censorship authorities.

Throughout their career, Eisregen has built a sizeable and dedicated fan base, releasing a substantial discography that showcases their musical evolution while maintaining their distinctive sound. Recent releases, such as "Heckenschütze," "Grenzgänger," and "bitterböse," exemplify their commitment to creating intense and atmospheric music that pushes boundaries. Despite the often gruesome imagery in their lyrics, the band has a penchant for melodic hooks and incorporating traditional German musical elements, which can be heard in songs like "Deutsches Bierlied." Their ability to combine a dark aesthetic with memorable musicianship has cemented their status as a unique and enduring entity within the metal community.
