“Scheissmessiah” is Hanzel
Und Gretyl’s forth album, and they have never been more
impressive. This disc showcases their industrial metal sound with
their blend of German and English lyrics. Picture Ministry, KMFDM,
with a Pro-Pain/Pantera edge. That should give you a good idea of
what this CD sounds like; Pro-pain/Ministry would almost be a perfect
cross at times. These songs take care of themselves. Heavy, choppy
riffs are combined with the industrial beats to create this grand,
energetic album. The metal riffs are like a well-oiled machine. Guitars
have much more of a metal feeling than the rest of the music…great
thrashy riffs. They had to get people’s heads bobbing and bodies
thrashing in their last tour; I found my head bouncing around with
the rhythm of a well-timed clock while I listened. “Fikk Dich
Mit Fire” and “And We Shall Purify” are my favorite
tracks, but the truth is the majority of this should speak to metal
and industrial fans. Metal fans and Non-Christians should also get
a kick out of “Hellalujah.” Al Jorgensen would probably
be really into this disc. I like the feeling and direction of this
“Scheissmessiah,” I can’t wait for more from Hanzel
Und Gretyl! Rating: 84 |
