About Ultraschwarz

Hi, I am Tom ...

As a web developer and SEO expert, I help musicians from the black scene to become visible online.

Since 2010, I have been helping smaller bands and musicians in particular to find new fans in various ways with my music magazine Electrozombies.

With Ultraschwarz, I go one step further and support them mainly with visibility on the internet via my own website and SEO strategies. This offer naturally applies to everyone in the black scene. This includes labels, online shops, promo managers as well as fashion and merchandise manufacturers.

My profile in a nutshell: WordPress developer, 25+ years of experience in website development, graphic designer, SEO & UX/UI professional, founder of Electrozombies (synth pop magazine), founder of Madcap Movies, London lover

No bullshit! I know what I'm doing.

More about me

I am part of the dark scene just like you and understand your artistic vision on a deep level. My first musical impact was none other than Kraftwerk. With Depeche Mode, I have been firmly anchored in the dark, electronic home since the early 80s. You can find out more about my musical life on the page “The story behind the origin of Electrozombies“.
