SOME QUOTES
„::OT:: (Top Dead Center) is one of the most dynamic and innovative Dark-Electro-Bands i know. It has so many impressive twists, many great atmospheric moments, haunting vocal job or speeches of Bettina Bormann, and a lot of rhytmic lines of Drummer and Composer Michael Krüger that constantly drill into the brains of the listener. I‘m only sorry that I don‘t understand German because the lyrics in here have a lot of importance. Great Stuff, Guys!”

„The music of Oberer Totpunkt is bursting with varied compositions in the area of tension between electro, EBM and bizarre rock. The madness of the present is shown precisely and sometimes angrily or coldly. :: OT :: works completely unimpressed by the general tendency towards conformity. Keep it up!"
Peter Heymann, Sonic Seducer

„David Lynch would really enjoy :: OT :: Dark Electro, driving grooves and acid-etching sound design. The lyrics are the unleashing of a nightmare eclipse: a melange of refined industrial beats by drummer Michael Krüger, ensnared by tough spoken-word-lyrics by Bettina Bormann whose philosophical excursions decode the traumatic visions of soul-racking questions.”
Tom Schäfer, Sticks (drum magazine)
"Oberer Totpunkt is danceable entertainment with depth: there is a lot to offer musically and lyrically: an atmospherically dense and creative fusion of dark electro, industrial with rock and wave elements. Bettina Bormann and Michael Krüger are always good for surprises and understand their craft."
Nic Arndt, Avalost
"::OT:: is different. The fragile state of affairs between the neurotic activity of our society and its deadly collapse has never been so impressively and terrifyingly illuminated!"
