Orkus is a monthly German music and culture magazine published by the Zoomia Media Group.
Despite its subtitle ("Gothic - romantic - industrial - electro") and its web tagline ("Das Magazin fur Dark Rock-Electro-Gothic Rock-Dark Metal & More"[1]), it includes all popular music genres including metal, medieval rock, Neue Deutsche Härte, alternative rock, electro and futurepop.
The gothic rock, dark wave and industrial music genres have had only a minor presence since the late 1990s.
However, other genres such as Goa trance, intelligent dance music, ambient, drum and bass, and techno, are represented in the magazine.
[2][4][5] Orkus is the official sponsor of the Amphi Festival and releases DVDs of the event in their issues at the end of the year.
