Reviews

“The band announced that this album would be their most diverse album to date. That is also true. On long player number five, the band convinces with individuality, is sometimes cheeky, sometimes thoughtful, but sometimes also a little bold. “Im Fadenkreuz” is definitely fun, and you won't find any bad songs either. Only “God damn man” irritates a bit as a little deep “Baby, I'm sorry” spoken word piece, the rest of the album provides some highlights from the previous machine opus. "Jump!", "The ghosts I called" and "Sounds like Rammstein" are especially fun, the other songs also seem very mature and show the great energy inherent in this band. As before, the further development of the Heldmachine succeeds with every album, and it is again delivered properly. Keep it up, guys! "

"HELDMASCHINE wander on" In the crosshairs "from self-irony (" Spring! "), To social criticism (" Sounds like Rammstein ", which plays with elements of the NDH pioneers, but ultimately sounds like 100% HELDMASCHINE) to danceable electronic Rock numbers ("harder"). Diversity is there, but there are hardly any new approaches. Nonetheless, HELDMASCHINE deliver a solid, powerful album that can be danced over long distances, which should at least provide plenty of food for the upcoming concerts. "
