This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.195.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 09:46, 11 January 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Rotersand''' is a German [[electronic music]] act, formed in September 2002 by musician/producer Gun and singer Rascal with dance music producer/DJ Krischan J.E. Wesenberg joining them shortly after. Rotersand's music can generally be described as [[futurepop]]; the band themselves refer to it as "industrial pop."

==History==
Prior to Rotersand, Gun and Rasc had collaborated on various other projects, most notably Gun as one producer and Rasc as one member of the band [[The Fair Sex]]. Rotersand's debut release was the 'Merging Oceans' EP in 2003, followed by their debut album ''Truth Is Fanatic''.  'Merging Oceans' peaked at #8 on the German Alternative Charts (DAC) and ranked #72 on the DAC Top Singles of 2003.<ref name="dac-singles-03">((cite web |title=DAC Top 100 Singles 2003 |url=http://www.public-propaganda.de/charts/jahrescharts2003/DAC/index.html |website=Trendcharts oHG |publisher=AMC Alster Musik Consulting GmbH |access-date=20 January 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20040110234321/http://www.public-propaganda.de/charts/jahrescharts2003/DAC/index.html |archive-date=10 January 2004 |date=2004 |url-status=dead))</ref>

In 2005, they released the single 'Exterminate Annihilate Destroy', a precursor to their second album ''Welcome To Goodbye'', both of which reached ((No.))1 on the DAC.<ref name="dac-singles-05">((cite web |title=DAC Top 100 Singles 2005 |url=http://charts.trendcharts.de/jahrescharts2005/DAC/index.html |website=Trendcharts oHG |publisher=AMC Alster Musik Consulting GmbH |access-date=20 January 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080423203707/http://charts.trendcharts.de/jahrescharts2005/DAC/index.html |archive-date=23 April 2008 |date=2006 |url-status=dead))</ref><ref name="dac-albums-05">((cite web |title=DAC Top 50 Albums 2005 |url=http://charts.trendcharts.de/jahrescharts2005/DAC/top50.html |website=Trendcharts oHG |publisher=AMC Alster Musik Consulting GmbH |access-date=20 January 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080423220622/http://charts.trendcharts.de/jahrescharts2005/DAC/top50.html |archive-date=23 April 2008 |date=2006 |url-status=dead))</ref> The 2006 EP, ''Dare to Live'', peaked at #2 on the DAC Singles chart.<ref name="dac-singles-06">((cite web |title=DAC Top 100 Singles 2006 |url=http://charts.trendcharts.de/jahrescharts2006/dac_top200/index.html |website=Trendcharts oHG |publisher=AMC Alster Musik Consulting GmbH |access-date=21 January 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080423220627/http://charts.trendcharts.de/jahrescharts2006/dac_top200/index.html |archive-date=23 April 2008 |date=2007 |url-status=dead))</ref>

The third Rotersand album, ''1023'', was released in 2007.
[[File:Rotersand e tropolis 2014 -39.jpg|thumb|170x240px|left|Rascal Nikov @ E-Tropolis 2013]]
The band has toured Europe with [[Assemblage 23]] and both Europe and the US with [[Covenant (band)|Covenant]], it played at [[Dark City Festival]] and was one of the headlining acts at [[Infest (festival)|Infest]] 2006. [[Mark Jackson (musician)|Mark Jackson]] of [[VNV Nation]] joined them on stage at the [[M'era Luna Festival]] in Hildesheim Germany in August 2006, and the band appeared twice at the [[Wave Gotik Treffen]].

After the discontinuation of Dependent Records at the start of 2007, the band signed to Trisol Records in 2008 and released the single "I cry", which was taken from the 2007 album '1023'. It also contains a DVD with live and interview material and reached the DAC's No.1 shortly after its release.

However, Rotersand had to cancel live shows in 2007, such as EBM Fest,<ref>[http://releasemagazine.net/News/news0710b.htm Release Magazine news]</ref> due to physical exhaustion of lead singer Rasc.

2009 saw the release of the newest Rotersand MCD ''War On Error'' a teaser for the band's album ''Random Is Resistance'',<ref>[http://www.side-line.com/news_comments.php?id=43195_0_2_0_C Rotersand returns with 'War On Error' MCD on Trisol]</ref> which was released in October of that year.

In the following years, Rasc experienced serious health issues, preventing him from singing and causing many Rotersand shows at e.g. Blacksun Festival 2008 <ref>[https://blacksunfest.livejournal.com/ Blacksun Festival announces cancellation]</ref> and E-Tropolis 2011,<ref>[http://darkwave.ro/2011/08/18/e-tropolis-2011-rotersand-show-cancelled-sitd-playing-instead/ E-tropolis press release]</ref> to get cancelled. Eventually the band did not accept any more bookings for live shows. Rasc's health also prevented them from recording a new album.

A first new sign of life came in 2014 with the release of the [[Truth is Fanatic Again]] remix CD, which also contained the first new Rotersand song (Electric Elephant) in 6 years. On 10 December 2014, Christmas came early with the release of Rotersand's very own [[Christmas cover song 'You Better not Watch']]<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZpF0upo4owM Youtube video 'You better not Watch']</ref> (as Rotersanta).

In April 2016, a single, [[Torn Realities]], was released, accompanied by a video. On 4 November 2016, the full album [[CapitalismTM]] was released.

On 5 July 2019, the single [[You Know Nothing]] was released.
