As recently as November 2023, everything pointed to the end of his career. After the end of his tour, Alligatoah deleted his website and all posts on his Instagram account. He also released a new version of his song "Trauerfeier-Lied" from 2013. Was this the sudden end of a great career? Of course not. Because he actually already had his new album in production, which he released in March 2024.
"Off" is an explosive mixture of different types of heavy metal and classic hip-hop beats, crossed with a fat 90s sound. With howling electric guitars and multi-dimensional double bass hammering, the artist spreads a brute nu-metal spirit - and pays homage to the heroes of his childhood. What's more, for the production of his seventh studio album, he was not only able to secure Limp Bizkit frontman Fred Durst as support. But also the Guano Apes, the band whose album "Proud Like A God" was the first CD that the singer, who grew up as Lukas Strobel in the province of Lower Saxony, once bought with his own pocket money. So instead of ending his career, Alligatoah is opening a new chapter in his musical history.
