RAMMSTEIN - Mutter
Even though this new offering is as dark and powerful
as Sehnsucht, it doesn’t seem to contain instant grabbers like
their flagship tune Rammstein or Du Hast on the first spin.
The closest they get to it is with the opening track, Mein Hertz Brennt
(My Heart Burns) while those who may have had unfounded suspicions of
their possible fascist view (like many would think of similar band Laibach),
Links 2-3-4 will probably solidify this because of the marching
sound FX - but, I mean, really people… As
the cliche' goes, the album really grows on you, even years after its
release the songs are ass-kicking slices of electronically infused metal
with choir tones often behind Till's deep, ominous voice - Ich Will
and Sonne springing to mind. The
eerie cover artwork, photography and desolate industrial moods created
in the music coupled with the dark vocals may strike fear in many without
the necessity to let rip with speed & noise. They do include about two
tracks which is more pacey - rather unlike them. Rammstein is not
unique in their style (contrary to their belief), but they are the most
prominent in their field, if only they’d re-evaluate some of the ultra
basic heavy guitar riffs (which really acts as a constant percussive rhythmic
nuance), isolating it from a basic Metal chop to something just a little
more progressively interesting. Still, all in all, a great album.
