Heldmaschine (German for "Hero Machine") are a German Neue Deutsche Härte band formed in 2008 in Koblenz as a parallel project from the Rammstein cover band Völkerball. After releasing their first album they changed their name to Heldmaschine and decided to focus on original music.[1][2]
Their first album, Weichen und Zunder, was originally released by Völkerball. It was re-released in 2013 by Heldmashine but with a line-up change – the brother of singer René Anlauff, Marco Schulte (bass), took over for Tilmann Carbow and Andreas Schanowski. The position of keyboard player was abolished.[1][2]
