Nitzer Ebb is a British electronic music duo formed in 1982, known for their aggressive, sample-heavy synth-pop and industrial influences. The duo consisted of Douglas McCarthy and Bon Harris, who were central figures in the electronic body music (EBM) scene. Body of Work was released in 2006, marking a return for the band after a period of relative quiet and individual projects. It came after their 2000 album "Gag Order" and before their 2010 collaboration with Paul van Dyk.
