Berlin post punk/cold wave/dark wave/ebm artist XTR HUMAN has revealed his new single “ABGRUND“, accompanied by a music video.
ABGRUND emerges as a response to the political shifts seen during the European elections and the alarming rise of right-wing movements in both the EU and Germany. Set to uncompromising, aggressive EBM beats, Abgrund channels the gravity of the current era — heavy times call for heavy sound. The track embodies both the speechlessness and the anger felt by many. As fascism once again becomes socially acceptable, Abgrund serves as a defiant stand: we must resist.
The accompanying video visually amplifies the song’s message of dissent and urgency. The single is not just a musical statement but also a political one—pro-EU, anti-nationalism, and a call for unity. Closing borders and obsessing over national pride lead nowhere. As Abgrund asserts, we all carry the responsibility to live peacefully together. This track is XTR HUMAN’s musical middle finger to all right-wing parties and their followers.
Prepare yourself for a raw, unfiltered EBM combat squad anthem.

Born in fire and tempered in the batcaves and warehouse raves of Berlin, Johannes Stabel brings a leather-wrapped hammer to gothic nightlife. A Don amongst the burnt strobes, grime-soaked venues and endless nights of Berlin, Stabel is revered for his high-energy performances as XTR HUMAN.
