Melotron is a futurepop and synthpop band from Germany.[1] In 1996 Andy Krueger, Edgar Slatnow, and Kay Hildebrandt broke off from their former band The Vermin to form Melotron. [2] The band found immediate success with their first single, "Dein Meister," in 1998.
Prior to the year 2007, Melotron was strictly a band with German-only lyrics. However, in their latest album Propaganda, "Broken" is completely sung in English.
In the American television show Saturday Night Live, the recurring sketch "Deep House Dish" uses Melotron's song "Der Kosmonaut" as an opening.
Melotron has performed at a number of major electronic and industrial festivals, amongst these the Wave Gotik Treffen festival in 1999, [3] 2003, [4] 2004, [5] and 2005 [6] and the M'era Luna Festival in 2001, 2003, and 2005. [7]
