Arbeitsgruppe Lobotomie, Enter Tragedy & Infektum im Backstage

Three bands. One stage. No prisoners.

WhenArbeitsgruppe Lobotomie, Enter Tragedy, and Infektum come together at Backstage Munich, it’s going to be artistic, loud, intense, and uncompromising. This is going to be an extraordinary, mind-blowing audiovisual spectacle!

The bands:

Arbeitsgruppe Lobotomiestands for uncompromising energy, intelligent provocation, and consistent staging. What began as a musical project is now a total work of art blending industrial, rock, electronic, and performance art—a symbiosis of sound, body, and attitude. Their stage shows combine aggressive electronic sounds, precise guitar riffs, expressive vocals, and theatrical elements: a ballerina, video aesthetics, and dramatic lighting. The Lobotomie Working Group doesn’t just put on concerts—they stage social criticism as an experience.

Since 2011, Enter Tragedy has been setting the tragedy of existence to music in all its darkly colorful facets. Originally formed in Guben, Brandenburg, as an artistic counterbalance, the band now gives a voice to all those who would otherwise remain silent—an alternative to a submissive society.

Shaped by the experiences of the post-reunification era, when themes such as upheaval, loss, and alienation were ever-present, they cover a broad spectrum that illuminates the abysses of the human soul as well as societal decay.

Diversity here is not just an overused buzzword, but a lived reality. With their inclusive lineup, they make themselves at home between the chairs and on the tables. Driving, catchy melodies, paired with powerful guitar riffs, form the foundation for a lyrical swan song to the power of those in charge as well as to the ruling power itself.

Anyone lucky enough to experience the band at one of their rare performances finds themselves in the midst of a dark production—an atmospheric journey through the dark side of modernity.

See for yourself and become part of the tragedy!

Escape the stress of everyday life and immerse yourself in another world. A library serves as the ideal retreat for mentally traveling through world history or expanding your knowledge of things you haven’t yet discovered. But what if you suddenly heard electronic sounds, loud guitars, and piercing screams coming from the library’s archives?

Infektum makes the catacombs of Berlin tremble: heavy metal riffs collide with pulsating electronic rhythms. Founded in 2017, the band combines tradition and modernity in a unique concept: a sonic library where styles are archived and reinterpreted. Their lyrics reflect everyday themes from multiple perspectives. For listeners who enjoy industrial metal and German lyrics, as well as those who want to delve a little deeper into stories.

In 2021, they completed their first EP, titled “Niemand,” which was released on February 5, 2021, and in 2022, they advanced to the finals of the Emergenza Band Contest. After a long journey spanning 7.5 years, their debut album featuring 12 songs will be released on September 5, 2025. This will be followed on November 8, 2025, by their first self-organized release show at Werk9 Berlin, where all the songs will be performed live.
