Abwärts formed in West Germany in 1979. Their single ‘Computerstaat’ was very well received by what would become known as Neue Deutsche Welle (NDW), followed by their debut album Amok Koma. These were released on the German label Zick Zack (pre-4AD label of Xmal Deutschland). Members FM Einheit and Mark Chung joined Einstürzende Neubauten, and the band split up for several years, and in 1987 released Normal . They remain active as of 2025.
