OUT OF ORDER
German Underground Metal since 1991
Bandbio
Formed in 1991 in Mosbach (Baden), Germany, the thrash metal powerhouse Out of Order has been a relentless force in the underground metal scene for over three decades. With founding members Thomas „Tom“ Bauer (Guitars) and Thorsten „Brauni“ Braun (Vocals) still at the helm, the band delivers authentic, energetic melodic thrash metal that pays homage to the genre’s golden era.
A Legacy Forged in Thrash
Inspired by the raw power of 80s Bay Area thrash icons like Slayer, Testament, and Exodus, as well as the metallic precision of Metal Church and Agent Steel, Out of Order also proudly carries the torch of Teutonic thrash legends such as Kreator. This potent blend of influences has shaped a sound that is both classic and undeniably their own.
Their journey began in 1994 with the release of their first demo tape, „Eye Protection Required.“ This was followed by their debut full-length album, „Powered by Aggression,“ in 1998, which solidified their place in the German thrash landscape. Subsequent releases include „Back in Hell“ (2003) and „Facing the Ruin“ (2019), each showcasing their unwavering commitment to their signature sound.
Live Prowess and Future Horizons
One of Out of Order’s undeniable strengths lies in their powerful live shows. With over 250 performances under their belt, they’ve consistently proven their skills on stages across the region, captivating audiences with their intense energy and precision. While the band has seen its share of lineup changes over the years, the core vision has remained steadfast.
Today, the lineup features Tom on guitars, Brauni on vocals, Denis Kuntner on bass, and Leonhard „Leo“ Werthebach on guitars. The band is currently seeking to fill the vacant drum position and looks forward to completing their powerful lineup.
With a burning desire to return to the stage, Out of Order is ready to once again celebrate 100% authentic German underground thrash metal with metal lovers across Europe. Get ready to witness a band that lives and breathes thrash, a true testament to the enduring power of metal.
