Sperm is the second studio album by German band Oomph!, released in 1994. It drastically changed the direction and sound of the band from their heavily synthesizer-based, EBM debut album. The band at this point decided to change to a metal-based style while retaining many elements of their EBM origins and influences.

Sperm is regarded as the establishing album of the Neue Deutsche Härte genre and was an inspiration for bands like Rammstein. ^{[1] [2] [3] [4]}
