About NER\OGRIS

NER\OGRIS was formed in February 2022 by Kai Neugebauer and Tino Claus, who also performs as vocalist of Amnistia. The two met in 2014 and named the project by combining “nero,” for black, and “gris,” for grey. NER\OGRIS signed to Dependent Records and released the debut album “I Am the Shadow – I Am the Light” in February 2023, preceded by the video single “Deepest Fear.” The band followed with the mini-album “Silenci” in November 2025, released on CD with a 12″ vinyl edition arriving in January 2026. “Fame Fatale,” now in digital pre-sale, is the duo’s next full-length, arriving alongside their support slot on Fïx8:Sëd8’s RET(R)OUR 2026 tour.

For almost 15 years I’ve been writing about music, interviewing artists and reviewing releases for Peek-A-Boo Magazine. Recently, I also launched my own WordPress website, where I continue to share interviews, reviews and news from the underground scene. The darker side of music has been part of my life for more than 30 years, with a passion for everything from ’80s synthpop and New Wave to EBM, Futurepop and dark electronic music in general. Also Metal and Rock is part of my world. Away from the scene, I work in a public library, where books are part of my everyday life. I enjoy both fiction and non-fiction, especially books on politics, religion, health and travel. I’m also a fan of thrillers and horror films. When I’m not listening to music or reading, you’ll usually find me exploring nature, enjoying a good sauna, experimenting with vegan cooking, or travelling to my second home, Finland. I’ve always believed the underground has the best stories. My job is simply to help tell them

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.
