Das Ich is a German electronic/gothic band formed in the early 1990s by Stefan Ackermann and Bruno Kramm. The band's name translates to "The I" in English, reflecting a direct engagement with concepts of the self and identity, which is very much evident in their thematic content and aesthetic. The band has been a prominent figure in the darkwave scene and is known for integrating elements of classical music with harsh industrial beats and gothic tones, resulting in a sound that is both dramatic and intense.

Over the years, Das Ich has produced an extensive catalogue of music characterized by Ackermann's distinctive, theatrical vocals and Kramm's intricate compositions. Their works often delve into the realms of philosophy, psychology, and literature, creating a rich tapestry of intellectual and emotional intensity. The band has maintained a consistent presence in the gothic and EBM (Electronic Body Music) scenes, with releases like "Lava (Remastered & Extended)" and "Cabaret" illustrating their continued commitment to evolving their sound while staying true to their dark, artistic roots. The duo's passionate delivery and the visually arresting live performances have earned Das Ich a dedicated fan base and a respected position within the alternative music community.
