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 have consistently proven their skills on stages across the region, captivating audiences with intense energy and precision.
After various line-up changes over the years, the band entered a new and powerful chapter in March 2026 with the addition of drummer Mario D’Antoni, also known as „Osiris“. His dynamic and precise drumming style adds new drive and stability to the band’s sound, finally completing the line-up.
