Rotersand is a German electronic music act, formed in September 2002 by musician/producer Gun and singer Rascal with dance music producer/DJ Krischan J.E. Wesenberg joining them shortly after. Being referred to by the band itself as Industrial Pop Rotersand's music can generally be described as Futurepop.
Prior to Rotersand, Gun and Rasc had collaborated on various other projects, most notably Gun as one producer and Rasc as one member of the band The Fair Sex. Rotersand's debut release was the 'Merging Oceans' EP in 2003, followed by their debut album Truth Is Fanatic. In 2005, they released the single 'Exterminate Annihilate Destroy', a precursor to their second album Welcome To Goodbye. Both of which reached No.1 in the Deutsche Alternative Charts DAC. The third Rotersand album, 1023, was released in 2007.
The band has toured Europe with Assemblage 23 and both Europe and the US with Covenant, it played at Dark City Festival and was one of the headlining acts at Infest 2006. Mark Jackson of VNV Nation joined them on stage at the M'era Luna Festival in Hildesheim Germany in August 2006, and the band appeared twice at the Wave Gotik Treffen.
can't you see wherever we go
another witch, another hero
with promises so bold and hollow,
we dare not doubt, just blindly follow

Killer creeping right into our marrow
setting up a reign of terror
good and bad have joined their forces
spreading lies in trojan horses
skillfully disguised in laughter
to leave us wasted ever after
how can you tell what theirs and yours is
we had so many brainwash-courses
whom can you trust, where can you turn to
when you've become the flame that burns you
love me - I don't
