About
Westdeutsche Christen were a West German experimental and industrial music project active in the early 1980s. Emerging from the underground music scene of that era, the group released a series of recordings that reflected the avant-garde aesthetic prevalent in post-punk and industrial music circles. Their discography includes the albums "Lass Mich Nicht Allein" (1980) and the self-titled "Westdeutsche Christen" (1982), alongside a cassette documentation of their live performances from 1981. The project's work exemplified the DIY ethos of early 1980s experimental music, with self-released materials circulating through underground networks. While detailed information about specific members and their wider influence remains limited, the group's output contributes to the documented history of West German industrial and experimental music during this formative period. Their releases represent an important artifact of the regional underground scene that produced significant innovations in noise and avant-garde music.
