Hall of Violence was originally founded in 1995 by Joachim Müller as a casual hobby project with a taste for playful electropop. Over the years, various songs were created with different vocalists, but no official releases followed — the band remained a creative outlet without any commercial ambition.
Everything changed in the spring of 2022, when Joachim met Samuel Hunt (also known as Sam H. Hunt, from Shice Squad). At the time, Samuel was searching for bands to contribute to a benefit sampler project aimed at saving the Yeah Yeah Yeah Studios in Hamburg-Barmbek. Joachim participated with a track from his other project, Different Souls. During their exchange, Samuel learned that Joachim had produced a few tracks under the name "Hall of Violence" back in the late 1990s. Instantly captivated by the dark, atmospheric style, Samuel suggested reviving the project together.
Later that same year, they released their debut single “Der Mann” (2022) — marking the official relaunch of Hall of Violence with a brand-new lineup.
