Details of Funker Vogt vinyl reissues ‘We Came to Kill’ and ‘Execution Tracks’
Both albums appear on black and grey marbled 180g vinyl, housed in high-quality gatefold sleeves. The new master comes from the original recordings and was completed in 2025 by Gerrit Thomas, continuing the band’s reissue campaign that has already brought collectors’ editions of “Navigator“, “Aviator“, “Blutzoll” and “Element 115” back into circulation via Repo Records.
“We Came to Kill” and “Execution Tracks” were originally released through 1990s imprint Zoth Ommog, with parallel licensing to Metropolis Records for North America. The new 2LP editions bring this material into the current Repo vinyl series that already includes the 2024 album “Final Construct” on gold-smoke LP.

“We Came to Kill” is Funker Vogt’s second album and first appeared in 1997 on Zoth Ommog and Metropolis, with a later CD reissue on Repo Records in 2001. The new limited 2LP follows the expanded reissue configuration, adding compilation-only material directly to the album tracklist.
The LP includes key tracks from the band’s early phase such as “Time of Dreams”, “Take Care!”, “Killing Fields” and “Funker Vogt 2nd Unit”. It also folds in “Time of Dreams (Heart-Core Mix)”, originally issued on the Zoth Ommog compilation “Something for Your Mind”, and “Take Care! (US Remix)”, first released on the US-only disc “Killing Time Again”.

About Funker Vogt
Funker Vogt is a German electro-industrial project from Hameln, Lower Saxony, founded in 1995 by vocalist Jens Kästel and programmer Gerrit Thomas. The project brings a mix of electro-industrial, aggrotech and futurepop, combining 4/4 club-oriented structures with lyrics that address war and social issues.
The early releases appeared through labels like Zoth Ommog and Metropolis. The debut “Thanks for Nothing” was released in 1996, followed in 1997 by the second album “We Came to Kill” and, in 1998, by “Execution Tracks”. During this period the band also issued singles such as “Take Care” and “Tragic Hero”, as well as the EP “Killing Time Again”.
In the early 2000s Funker Vogt released such albums as “Maschine Zeit” and “T” in 2000, “Survivor” in 2002 and the remix collection “Revivor” in 2003, followed by “Navigator” in 2005 and “Aviator” in 2007. A live album, “Warzone K17 (Live in Berlin)”, appeared in 2009, and “Blutzoll” followed in 2010. The 2010s brought “Companion in Crime” (2013), and later “Code of Conduct” (2017) and “Wastelands” (2018), marking the transition to Repo Records as primary label.
More recent studio work includes the albums “Element 115” (2021), “MC 5f¹⁴6d¹⁰7s²7p³” (2021) and “Final Construct” (2024), the latter also issued as a limited gold-smoke vinyl edition. The current lineup consists of vocalist Bastian Polak (who joined in December 2023), Gerrit Thomas on keyboards and programming, and René Dornbusch on e-drums and backing vocals.

Since you’re here …
… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
