When Bertolt Brecht's parody of the "Horst-Wessel-Lied" "Kälbermarsch" starts playing as the first song, the band has already won me over halfway! An impression that cannot be reversed throughout the entire album. What is offered is dark mid-tempo punk with keyboards, reminiscent at times of bands like Fliehende Stürme/Chaos Z, Boxhamsters, EA 80, or even later Razzia. Great!!! The lyrics are partly political, partly personal, but always emotional, thoughtful, and intelligent. The song "Kreuzigung" might be familiar to some from the Punkinvasion IV sampler, while "Deutsches Lied" seems to have been something like the band's hit (as it appears twice - once live), and I particularly enjoy the very dark "Andere Welt" as well as the song advocating for alternative spaces, "Danach & Stunden später". The last songs on the record consist of live versions and obviously different studio recording sessions than at the beginning. And I keep wondering who was running over the controls or standing on a cable during "Rap"? But that's the only complaint and not meant badly! Because: Highly recommended, the perfect music for dark autumn days!!! Good thing it's October.
