This
is a hard and heavy German metal industrial crossover band that reminds
me a lot of Oomph! in many respects. The music is created with heavy
thrasyguitars, slamming drum beats, electronic programming and synths.
The vocals are clean and deep sung in German. They are powerful and
add to the intensity of the music. There is even occasional female singing
that comes in at times to make things a little more interesting. While
the guitars are heavy and do overpower most everything else, there's
still a good helping of electronics and synth melodies. They're mainly
brought in during the breaks, but still are very apparent. Due to this
factor the band does manage to sound more creative and seem to have
more variety in their songs when compared to a lot of other electro
metal bands out there. While I like to know what the lyrics are saying
in songs, the all German spoken lyrics here actually work with the music
because they fit in with it so well. The last two tracks are english
lyric spoken versions of two of the songs. I do admit that it's nice
to be able to understand what is being said, but it doesn't really change
the songs that much. The band does a good job of adding a lot of diversity
to their music to keep everything interesting. Nothing gets repetitive
to where you would get bored. There is melody and drama found here,
so this isn't just angry and aggressive thrash metal. It has more of
an edge to it. Every song is good here, but they don't sound that much
different from each other. Everything stays consistant for the most
part. The bottom line is that if you like heavy industrial music with
a Laibach and Oomph! edge to it, you will enjoy this album.
