# Hanzel und Gretyl

Hanzel und Gretyl are an American industrial metal act founded in New York City in 1993 by Kaizer von Loopy and Vas Kallas. The duo pioneered a distinctive fusion of heavy industrial metal with electronic and dance music elements, crafting a sound that bridges aggressive guitar work with synth-driven production and club-ready beats. Their approach has made them influential figures in the industrial crossover scene, appealing to both metal and electronic music audiences.

Throughout their career, Hanzel und Gretyl have maintained a commitment to blending hard-hitting industrial aesthetics with electronic experimentation. Their production style emphasizes heavy synths, distorted vocals, and programmed rhythms that translate effectively both in studio recordings and live performances. The band continues to evolve their signature sound while remaining central to the industrial metal and electronic music landscape.
