History

The producer Oliver Pinelli is behind the first EP Krieger.^[1] , released in 2016, and the first two albums Koma ^{[2] [3]} (2017) and Amok ^{[4] [5]} (2018). The band also founded their own label Triplebase.

Null Positiv played with the album Koma as a support act for Anthrax, The Raven Age and Life of Agony and had a gig at the Wacken Open Air Festival in 2017.^[6]

The guitarist Martin Kotte left Null Positiv in 2018 for personal reasons. His successor Bene Gugerbauer had a significant influence on the musical style of the band. Due to a back injury of singer Elli Berlin in early 2019, the band had to take a forced break.^[7] From May 2019 on, they toured together as co-headliners with Ankor through Switzerland, France, Belgium and Italy ^[8] and won the newcomer competition at the M'era Luna Festival 2019.^{[9] [10]}

In 2020 they released their third studio album "Independenz",^[11] which the band produced completely by themselves.
