Alexander Hacke

A spontaneous idea becomes reality: our second audiobook is now available – and what an amazing one! The revised and expanded new edition of Alexander Hacke’s magnificent autobiography KRACH – Verzerrte Erinnerungen (Ventil Verlag), released to coincide with his 60th birthday. What an extraordinary life, from Einstürzende Neubauten to far beyond. We are excited to release the audiobook (total running time: 10 hours 45 minutes), read by Alexander Hacke himself and produced by Peter Zirbs. In addition to the German version, an English edition, BLAST – Distorted Memories, will also be available in spring 2026.
