Eisbrecher
Album Release date: 26. January 2004
Greetings,
I was very impressed with this self-titled debut album from one of
Germany's latest synthetic/darkwave bands. Their sound lands
somewhere between Wolfsheim and Rammstein, and fans of either would
do well to check them out.
The lyrics are all in German, and the beat is very danceable. They
make one effort at an English-lyrics song in "Fanatica" and the
results are predictably lame. This does nothing to detract from the
overall coolness of the rest of the album. My favorite track,
"Willkommen Im Nichts" is a near-perfect blend of electronic darkwave
and industrial sound.
Those of you looking for a sound similar to Crüxshadows or Wolfshiem,
with a slightly more industrial edge, should definitely try
