Die Kreatur

In 2020, the two singers Dero Goi (Oomph!) and Chris Harms (Lord of the Lost) announced that they had launched a joint project called The Creature. The two men had each already contributed to the other band's album. Chris Harms sang on Europa from the album Ritual, while Dero Goi can be heard on the song Abracadabra from the bonus CD of the album Thornstar. Both albums were released by the record company Napalm Records, which also signed the newly formed duo. The first album Panoptikum was released on May 22, 2020 via Napalm Records. The album contained a cover of the NDW hit Der goldene Reiter by Joachim Witt. Panoptikum reached number 8 on the German charts on May 29, 2020 and number 90 on the Swiss charts on May 31, 2020.
