Plastik (German for Plastic (das Plastik) or Sculpture (die Plastik)) is the sixth studio album by German Industrial metal band Oomph!. It was released on 11 October 1999 through the German record label Virgin Schallplatten. [1] This album features less aggressive playing style and cleaner vocals, in compare to the band's previous albums. The album is also characterized by more pronounced synthesizer riffs, overall softer vocals and progressed drumming and guitar playing, as well as uncommon time signatures. This melody-over-aggression approach would be the style the band would adopt for their signature sound, making this album a turning point in the band's sound.
