Strom (song)

"Strom" is a song by the German industrial rock band Eisbrecher. It was released in 2004 as a single from their debut album, Eisbrecher. The song is notable for its heavy industrial sound, prominent use of synthesizers, and lyrics that explore themes of isolation, technological alienation, and the power of nature.

The lyrics, written in German, often feature metaphors relating to electricity and water, reflecting the band's name, which translates to "icebreaker," a ship designed to navigate icy waters. Musically, "Strom" is characterized by its driving beat, distorted guitars, and Alex Wesselsky's distinctive baritone vocals.

While not the band's biggest commercial success, "Strom" is considered a signature song of Eisbrecher and a staple of their live performances. It helped to establish their unique blend of industrial rock and Neue Deutsche Härte (New German Hardness) within the German music scene. The song's themes resonate with fans interested in cyberpunk aesthetics and critiques of modern society. It remains a frequently requested track and a popular entry point for listeners discovering Eisbrecher's discography.
