Vargotah

Vargotah is a band from Germany formed in 1999. Their musical style fuses a broad variety of elements and techniques, often of metal, industrial and psychedelic influences with those of undetermined ethnic origins. Vargotah is also known and referred to as "The Cult of Vargotah" or "The Vargotah Cult").
Formed by ex-members of the 90s underground band The Heroin, Orkun Ozzduner remains the only constant member of the band. As a producer, vocalist, songwriter and instrumentalist he is responsible for the musical and artistical direction. Vargotah's band members are all of different cultural background and musical heritage which enriches the band's creations and has contributed to form a circle of core members who fairly regular appear on studio albums, live-recordings, remixes and concerts. Vargotah's essence focuses on philosophical, political, existential, humanistic and scientific subjects, often counterportrayed by controversial, abstract and surreal lyricism and design, occasionally combined with dark humorous expressionism. Though Vargotah have never communicated their role in public the fans associate them with the Occult and Vampires.
Memeplex
Memeplex is the upcoming full-length studio album by Vargotah. It is set to be released in 2012. Memeplex entered the writing phase during the "Some Vertigo from Lack of Blood" Tour in 2007.

At the same time the album was promoted with a pre-order option and the introduction of Special Limited Edition Packs. Due to building a new studio complex and personnel changes the production of the album was postponed to the beginning of 2010. On May 21, 2010, Vargotah is quoted as saying "Bright news on a dark horizon: Vargotah is currently working on the new studio album which will be entitled "Memeplex".
