HerrSchaft was born at the end of year 2004, from the dark thoughts of singer & lyrics writer M.X, to whom suddenly appeared the consciousness of the disastrous doom that is bound to humanity. From this mysterious and winy revelation he orders a mass recruitment plan that would make him to meet his soldiers, MaX (electro & live drums), then Zoé (guitars & sound engineer of the band).
Whereas fitting badly with each others the three men all share the same passion for the anthropological research on mankind’s future, and they therefore agree to form a band that shall explore both faces of a world, altogether grand and desecrated.
After a first work of documentation & composition, Herrschaft starts practicing live, and during summer 2005 begins the recording sessions of their first effort “Architects of the Humanicide”.

(Des)organized like pictures directly get from the spirit of these four Architects, created as a manuscript for the generations to come, “TESLA” is here to prove to the fans of Metal and Dark electro that the union of these atypical genres has found a new name…
