Xmal Deutschland were formed in Hamburg in 1980 by five female musicians and debuted with the singles Schawarze Welt (Zick-Zack) and Incubus Succubus. Three of the original founders (Anja Huwe on vocals, Manuela Rickers on guitar, Fiona Sangster on keyboards) and two new recruits (Wolfgang Ellerbrock on bass and Manuela Zwingmann on drums) cut the album Fetisch (4AD, 1983), which established them in the British circuit of gothic dance-music and dark-punk. Mixing those styles with the austere angst of expressionism, tracks such as Qual aimed at coining a new form of dance. After second album Tocsin (1984), the singles Jahr um Jahr (Xile, 1985) and Matador (Xile, 1986), and third album Viva (1987), the band members split, with Huwe and Ellerbrock recording as Palais Schaumburg the album Devils (1988).

Le Xmal Deutschland (cinque musiciste) si sono formate ad Amburgo nel 1980 e hanno debuttato con il singolo Schawarze Welt (Zick-Zack) e Incubus Succubus. Tre dei membri fondatori (Anja Huwe al canto, Manuela Rickers alle chitarre, Fiona Sangster alle tastiere) e due nuove reclute (Wolfgang Ellerbrock al basso e Manuela Zwingmann alla batteria) pubblicarono l’album Fetisch (4AD, 1983), il quale li posizionò stabilmente nei circuiti inglesi di gothic dance-music e dark-punk. Miscelando questi stili con un’austero timore di espressionismo, con brani come Qual mirarono a coniare una nuova forma di ballo .Dopo il secondo album Tocsin (1984), i singoli Jahr um Jahr (Xile, 1985) e Matador (Xile, 1986), ed il terzo album Viva (1987), molti membri uscirono dalla band e la Huwe ed Ellerbrock registrarono come Palais Schaumburg l’album Devils (1988).
