Album: Wer bist du by Megaherz (1997)
Genre: Metal | Style: Rock/Pop
Format: Album

Description: Wer Bist Du? (eng. "Who Are You?") is the first full album by German industrial metal group Megaherz, following the limited edition release of their first album, Herzwerk. The album included three songs from Herzwerk: Krone der Schöpfung (originally a two-part song, here a single track), Negativ and Hänschenklein 1995 (remade as Hänschenklein Siebenundneunzig).

The first track, Gott sein, is one of Megaherz's most famous, and considers the problems of being God, culminating in the refrain "Es ist nicht leicht ein Gott zu sein" ("It is not easy being a god").

This song was the first of several Megaherz songs to be based on nursery rhymes, preceding Rapunzel on Kopfschuss, Windkind on Himmelfahrt (which echoed the story of Goldilocks) and I. M. Rumpelstilzchen on Herzwerk II. The famous German heavy metallists Rammstein would begin a similar theme four years later with the track "Spieluhr" on the album Mutter, "Dalai Lama" on Reise, Reise, continuing with "Hilf Mir" and the title track of the album Rosenrot.
