Genre: Krautrock

Part of a strange legacy of bands, these were previously known as 'Hanuman', who were in turn ex-'Murphy Blend', changing name after the original leader Wolf-Rüdiger Uhlig left. They named themselves after the closing track on the 'Hanuman' album.
'Lied Des Teufels' (in English "Song of the Devil") made a much more aggressive politico-German rock, stylistically between 'Out Of Focus', 'Floh De Cologne' and 'Ton Steine Scherben', being all the more theatrical and offbeat on their second album. Very German and quite heavy going in the lyric department, the music nonetheless - sizzled!
Throughout their career 'Lied Des Teufels' certainly did play "Hellish Hot Rock music".
