== Style == Knorkator's music can be largely classified as [[industrial metal]], somewhat akin to [[White Zombie (band)|White Zombie]] and [[Ministry (band)|Ministry]]. Knorkator, however, strongly features a comedic element. Most songs escalate into [[falsetto]] vocals and bombastic, over-the-top anthemic choruses, with crushing guitars and subtle samplers. Due to the amusing message, however, the band's considerable technical and artistic merit is sometimes overlooked. Knorkator's lyrics are somewhat explicit, but always very humorous. Most of the band's lyrics are in German; however, some songs also feature English ("beating around the bush", "[[Ma Baker]]", etc.), [[Thai language|Thai]] ({{transliteration|th|Mai khao djai}}, {{transliteration|th|Khid tyng baan}}), [[Latin language|Latin]] ({{lang|la|Aeger sum}}), or French ({{lang|fr|Ma belle fêmme}}, {{lang|de|Franz Hose}}) lyrics. Their famous song {{lang|de|Wir werden alle sterben}} ("We're all going to die") has also been translated into the [[Arabic language]]. The songs in English are often extreme covers of previously well-known hit songs. The song {{lang|de|Buchstabe}} is featured as a music video in the 3rd episode of Adult Swim's ''[[Off the Air (TV series)|Off the Air]]'' (2011).
