Endzustand release ‘Maschinenangst’ single and video on Echozone
German EBM project Endzustand release the single and video “Maschinenangst” via Echozone on 3 July 2026, the first preview of the album “Macht Gesellschaft”.
German EBM project Endzustand release the single “Maschinenangst” on 3 July 2026 through Echozone, issued together with a video. The track is the first preview of the band’s coming album “Macht Gesellschaft” and turns its theme of technology and control into pounding EBM.
Endzustand set ‘Maschinenangst’ against machine anxiety
“Maschinenangst” takes aim at artificial intelligence, social networks and the growing weight of technology on daily life, posing the release’s central questions about truth, manipulation and control. Echozone describes the track as “a grim truth embedded in raw, pounding EBM rhythms and an uncompromisingly brutal sound”. The single lines up as the opening single from the album “Macht Gesellschaft”, with Ralle on vocals and Rudi on drums.
About Endzustand
Endzustand is the EBM project of Ralf Rönckendorf, a former German soldier who lost his eyesight and three comrades during a 2010 mission in Afghanistan. He built the project around classic electronic body music, drawing on 1980s reference points such as Nitzer Ebb, Die Krupps and DAF.
Endzustand issued the album “Werk des Krieges” through Echozone in 2020, followed by the “Roter Freitag” EP in 2021 and further releases on the label. The project now records as a duo, with Rönckendorf joined by Rudi on drums. “Maschinenangst” opens the campaign for the next Endzustand album, “Macht Gesellschaft”.
