style

The album combines punk and wave influences that Dirk Jessewitsch suspects “between Siouxsie , Cure or Pink Turns Blue ” and old punk. According to Intro magazine , the album follows on from the previous album, Priesthill, where the style was described as "[k] uncompromising wave punk in the style of EA80 ".

Andreas Löhr describes the album as very introverted. The intro review, on the other hand, describes the texts as “intellectual exhibitionism”; Andreas Löhr presses the inside “with every word outwards”. The lyrics in German are "almost spoken, sometimes almost screamed".

reception

The contents of the album are often associated with Thomas Löhr's death. Dirk Jessewitsch from discover praised the "freshness and quality of craftsmanship with which Thomas and Andreas Löhr go to work here". The album reminds him of “ Tom Diabo , who acted very similarly in terms of text and music”. The reviewer of the intro wrote that the band was inferior to EA80 "neither musically nor lyrically". He attested to the band that they probably “really live in their own dark world”, which is why the music and lyrics “work so harmoniously and without the feeling of exaggerated pathos”, and the intellectual exhibitionism is “frightening and fascinating at the same time”. Joachim Hiller from Ox, on the other hand, complained that the album no longer had much to do with punk and described it as " goth shit ". Matthias Mineur from Metal Hammer wrote that the album sounds “takes some getting used to at first access. [] The sound is a bit too dull, the drums rumble, but the songs are okay. ”He gave 4 out of 7 points.
