Misantrophe was a German band from Wetzlar that was founded in 1990 by Karsten Dittrich and Daniel Scharf.
The band emerged from the previous project Die Schöpfer .
In 1992 Misantrophe released the demo tape Dismail on their own. A year later the tape was distributed by the record company Alice in ... and received mostly positive feedback in music magazines. Stefan Fiedler acted as a guest singer on two pieces.
As a result, three albums or double albums were released. Titles such as Nekrophil , soldiers in autumn and decay, as well as participation in a large number of compilations, made Misantrophe known to a wider public.
Misantrophe were often compared to Goethe's heirs and Relatives Menschlichkeit and, due to their German-language texts and their neoclassical and electro-wave inspired music, were considered an essential part of the New German Art of Death .
