Mit den Gezeiten is the second studio album by the German band Santiano . It was released on May 10, 2013 and entered the German charts at number one .
History of origin
Santiano was created through the efforts of music producers Hardy Krech, Mark Nissen and Annett Lorenzen-Krech ( Elephant Music ) and Joe Chialos ( Universal Music ). After the success of the debut album Bis ans Ende der Welt , the band toured among others in the opening act of Helene Fischer , but also played at various festivals of the metal scene , such as the Full Metal Cruise and the Wacken Open Air 2012. According to their own statement During the recording of the album, the members of Santiano ignored the pressure that was on them after the successful debut album and tried to take a relaxed approach in the studio. They received no specifications from their label Universal Music and were largely free to work on the new songs. Due to the numerous appearances, however, there was little time for the recordings.
Music and lyrics
Musically, Santiano remains a band that primarily mixes shanties with various influences from pop and rock music . There are also influences from hits , folk music , Irish folk and subtle metal influences.
Hardy Krech from Santiano thinks Mit den Gezeiten for "rockier, harder, also a little bad", because more electric guitars are used. Through the experience at the live concerts, where the powerful songs in particular were well received, the production of the new album began to be made harder and more electric guitar to be used without neglecting one's own style.
As with the predecessor, the sailor theme was retained to match the music style. The album is about the vastness of the sea, life at sea, heartache and longing.

criticism
Jenny Weser from Intro writes: “Sailor's thread dripping with pathos like this is Santiano's trademark. A little Irish folk, folk music, pop, always underlaid by the drivingly thunderous framework of a sea shanty.
Artur Schulz from Laut.de awarded three out of five stars and summed up:
“Rocked sailor shanties on a North German metal stage - that fits. "Mit Den Gezeiten" proves: The Santianos are not mayflies or dreary stickfish, in order to dive straight into the nautical vocabulary. "
success
The album went straight to number one in the German charts . The album reached number 31 in the Austrian charts, in Switzerland it reached number 21 in May and the special edition with Peter Reber entered the Swiss charts at number 10 in December 2013.
