Ausbruch

About

Ausbruch was a German industrial and experimental music project active during the mid-1980s. Operating within the broader European underground noise and industrial music scene, the group documented their work through cassette releases and vinyl recordings. Their discography includes live recordings from performances in Pforzheim (1984) and Eeklo, Netherlands (1985), alongside the studio album Harte Zeiten released in 1985. The project exemplified the DIY ethos and raw aesthetic characteristic of 1980s European industrial music, utilizing cassette tape as a primary distribution format common to the era's underground networks. The live recordings suggest an emphasis on performance-based experimentation, while their studio work engaged with darker, more structured industrial compositions. Though details regarding specific membership and extended discography remain limited, Ausbruch's output reflects the experimental and confrontational spirit of the mid-1980s German industrial underground.
