The direction Oomph! Chose on Sperm came to a logical conclusion on Defekt (1995): Billboard Magazine clumsily called it "Sepultura meets DAF", but it was actually a fascinating and hefty caleidoscope of crossover sounds. The third Oomph! #album is filled to the brim with riff-laden industrial monsters such as 'Hate Sweet Hate', infectious single 'Ice-Coffin' and 'Hast du geglaubt', and open-minded metal crowds lapped it up just as greedily as electronica lovers. Melodic choruses took turns with impressive growls and painted a pretty good picture of all the things the German band would be capable of in the future.
