Die Haut - Die Hard (Remastered 2025) (2025)

Die Hard (Remastered 2025) is a revitalized edition of the live album by the cult German instrumental band Die Haut. The original material was recorded in December 1989 in Berlin, shortly before the dissolution of this specific lineup. The album documents the group's powerful stage energy as they perform key tracks (such as Urge and a cover of The Sonics' P.S.Y.C.H.O.) without the guest vocalists that frequently appeared on their studio works.

The band's lineup on this recording featured pivotal figures of European post-punk: Christoph Dreher (bass), Martin Peter (guitar), Jochen Arbeit (guitar, later of Einstürzende Neubauten), and Thomas Wydler (drums, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds). The 2025 remaster by Fuego aims to clarify the sound of the archival recording, emphasizing the density of the guitars and the band's signature thundering rhythm.
