老牌组合Girls Under Glass成立于1986年,Thomas Luecke (主唱), Hauke Harms (合成器)和Zaphor aka Volker Zacharias (吉他)是组合元老.
87年他们的第一张专辑HUMUS发表.确立的自己种德式的Gothic-wave风格.2年后组合在德国赢得了如Fields Of The Nephilim, Red Lorry Yellow Lorry等组合一样的名声. 98年第二张专辑FLOWERS发表.乐队加入了几位客座乐手.终于能够演现场了.90年,原本CANCER BARRACK的Zaphor正式加入了Girls Under Glass填补了Thomas Luecke离队后的空缺.同年第三张专辑POSITIVE发表.THE CASSANDRA COMPLEX公司的Rodney Orpheus发行了它并且与Zaphor建立了很深的友谊.而PROJECT PITCHFORK则在这一年与Girls Under Glass一同巡演.92年专辑DARIUS发表,组合首次用真鼓代理了鼓机.另外Raj Sen Gupta成了大家的新吉他手.93年CHRISTUS发行.Raj Sen Gupta离开乐队,组建了SLEEPING DOGS WAKE和COBALT 60.95年CRYSTALS & STONE专辑在新的自己的录音室制作.三人一同担任了主唱工作.有趣的尝试.音乐中也加入了大量近似Legendary Pink Dots和Skinny Puppy的元素.97年FIREWALKER这张与以往作品大为不同的专辑完成,NIN,KMFDM等美式主流工业金属的暴躁着实让我这种乐迷吃惊不小.为了保持原汁原味Girls Under Glass在巡演中甚至邀请了KMFDM的鼓手Rudi Naomi作为特邀成员.99年组合回归了他们原有的Gothic-wave风格,适当保留了一些工业与金属riff的痕迹,但总体上依然是温和的.Hall of Sermon的发行好像也多少影响了乐队的音乐风格.同年NIGHTMARES精选辑发表.组队10年来的未发表作品,重混经典歌曲还有一些新歌.2001年他们最近作品Minddiver也面世了
Biography
by John Bush
The electro-industrial three-piece Girls Under Glass formed in 1986 around vocalist/guitarist Volker Zacharias along with programmers Hauke Harms and Axel Ermes (plus occasional live bandmates Marcus Giltjes on drums and guitarists Mark Wheeler and Raj Sen Gupta). Girls Under Glass began recording with 1988's Humus, and though Zacharias (as well as Ermes) played a consistent role in the Cassandra Complex beginning in 1990, they devoted much time to Girls Under Glass as well, releasing six albums from 1992 to 1997. Hauke and Volker also record as Trauma.
