Orgasm Death Gimmick was founded in May 1991 at Richard's initiative, after he began searching for people to form a new band:

“When I was looking for people for a new band, I met Sasha [Moser] playing the drums now, and Francis [Schobert, also known as Franzi Underdrive] from Inchtabokatables. We played a little, but Francis didn't like it too much. She decided to retire, and Martin [Rauer] appeared on the stage (now he is a bass guitarist). We tried to play together, and we did a good thing. Detmar [Schmidt] (pipeman and vocalist) simply float around for a year, read some books and reflected on life in general. Then he sang, and then Martin offered him the place of vocalist. A group was formed.” (x)

Just two years later, in 1993, the band disbanded, having released two promo and two demo albums during that time. Richard described the band's somewhat ambiguous style as follows:

“We did extremely English-Saxon music, quite pop, but I couldn’t fully determine the direction of the music we wrote.”

Indeed, while the musical style leans toward hard rock, it also features experimental elements, such as the use of a trumpet in 'Boom Box' or pipes in 'Say nothing'. Additionally, traces of the later Rammstein sound can be found, particularly in the song 'Cyber', whose guitar riff was later reused in 'Sehnsucht', as well as in 'Be Up to Know', elements of which can be found in 'Engel'.
