Guano Apes

About

Guano Apes is a nu metal band from Gottingen, Germany. The group officially formed in 1994, when Henning Rumenapp (guitar), Dennis Poschwatta (drums) and Stefan Ude (bass) asked Sandra Nasic to join the band and take over on lead vocals. As a singer, Nasic is brash, yet not without an intact melodic sense, offering Guano Apes a balance between its more tame alt-rock tendencies and aggressive metal influences. As the band has progressed over the years, it's been inspired by the American nu metal genre of the late 90s and early 2000s popularized by bands such as Limp Bizkit, Korn and Papa Roach, leading to the subtle incorporation of hip hop, synthesizers and funk rhythms on later albums.
