Neue Deutsche Härte, otherwise known as NDH, Tanzmetall and dance-metal, is a subgenre of rock music that developed in Germany and Austria during the early-to-mid 1990s and during early 2000s. Alluding to the style of Neue Deutsche Welle, the term was coined by the music press after the 1995 release of the German rock and metal band Rammstein's first studio album Herzeleid.
