After 33 years, the LongRunnerLineup of the band came to an end. In 2021 Dero Goi announced his departure from the band. The reason appears to be his recent conversion to Christianity and his belief that a "rockstar life" no longer suits him. Dero is currently working on a solo project, while both Crap and Flux fully intend to keep the OOMPH! band alive, working on a new album and looking for a new singer.

2012). While the first album was strictly EBM, the following albums mostly enstablished themselves within the [=NDH=] genre. The turn of the millennium saw the band "softening" their sound and adapting a more Gothic imagery, while TheNewTens had the band experimenting with a wide range of genres.

* LastNoteNightmare: "Mein Herz". Not that it is a pleasant song to begin with, but it closes with a heartbeat, foosteps, and a woman yelling. Then it fades.

* GenreShift: Oomph! are the living embodiment of this trope, thanks to the numerous experimentations during the course of their career. Their first EBM album ''Oomph!'' was immediately followed by the more IndustrialMetal ''Sperm'', which is considered by many the enstablishing album for the NDH genre. ''Plastik'' represented a turning point by noticeably softening the band's sound, and ''Wahrheit oder Pflich'' introduced GothicMetal elements which have been kept so far, although at a varying level.

* MultilingualSong:
** The first version of "Der neue Gott" ("The new God") has a few sentences in English. This is changed in a "bonus version" which has entirely German lyrics.
** "Ready or Not (I'm coming)" mantains the word "Eckstein" (that means "cornerstone") in German, to keep the rhyme. Also the countdown from the CreepyChild in the chorus remains in German.



** "Der neue Gott" ("The new God") from ''Oomph!'' is sung in German but has a short interlude in English. Later releases of the album included a "bonus version" completely in German, with the interlude translated almost precisely.
