Berlin’s Die Anstalt hit like a cold voltage down the spine. Formed in 2023, the trio of Jakob Feyerherm, Emanuele Mattei, and Carmen Redeker welds early EBM steel to jagged post-punk edges, bolting in synth-punk circuitry until the whole thing hums with a nervous, volatile energy. This is a controlled detonation, the past’s concrete dust clouding a sharply drawn present.
They now unveil Ich Will, a transmission with its lineage stamped in steel: DAF’s metronomic menace; silky, razor-wire vocals invoking Xmal Deutschland, Malaria!, and KaS Product; along with a beat slightly reminiscent of the strange pop logic of Peter Schilling. But Die Anstalt doesn’t sit politely among their influences—they kick the chair out from beneath them. The drums don’t keep time so much as rivet it into place. Guitars jab in angular bursts, while the vocal slices through like a pirate broadcast—urgent, clipped, unflinching. Born in Berlin’s Brutalist corridors, the signal carries across frostbitten Warsaw, the industrial outskirts of Zurich, and the dim back rooms of Helsinki, where the band has already left its mark.
Their visual sense is as sharp as their sound, as seen in the recent VHS-shot video with Plattenbau, filmed in a hollowed-out Neukölln space that feels ripped from a cyberpunk fever dream. The camera stutters under flashing light, catching sudden glimpses of bodies in motion, equipment stacked like forgotten relics, and a singer’s mouth forming syllables like orders barked from a distant guard tower.
Watch the video for “Ich Will” below:
On stage, Die Anstalt turns performance into confrontation. Strobes flare, faces blur, and the crowd becomes part of the machinery. With their tour about to kick into high gear, they aim straight for the gut—no hesitation, no soft landings, just a jolt of electricity you feel in your teeth.
