On the occasion of the single Labyrinth , an online adventure game is available on the band's homepage , in which, for example, the listening session of the album and the uncensored version of the video The First Time It Always Hurts premiered.

Music and videos

In general, the music on Monster is quite diverse. So with In your hips z. B. a tango - and with Auf Kurs , a ballad is featured on an album of the band for the first time.

The songs The first time it always hurts and I never want to see you again address sexual abuse.

Whoever wants to be beautiful has to suffer deals with the beauty craze of contemporary society.

Until the end is a duet with the Braunschweig singer Mina Harker.

criticism

  • The Metal Hammer wrote: “With ten albums in the back catalog by now, it is no longer so easy to make great changes. Singer Dero and his colleagues try it again and again - also on their new album MONSTER, which doesn't get stuck on the track of AUGEN AUF.

    The motto is rather 'Back to the Roots'. The trio uses significantly more EBM influences [sic] again, not unlike the early days of their careers. Mixed with driving guitar riffs, this creates a series of catchy songs [sic] that bring with them several potential hits. "

  • laut.de wrote: “'Who wants to be beautiful must suffer' is an instant hit. Nice how singer Dero takes the turbo out of 'Auf Kurs' and shows what he can do with the piano and strings. The front man's forefinger is also used: 'In your hips' warns of the ever-present danger of AIDS. That Oomph! at 'Lass Mich Raus' lyrically fish in the murky again ('Spread your legs, mother') - free.

    It gets embarrassing, however, when you dream of 'Revolution' in the middle of the album. What DeroCrapFlux is serving us here is definitely not revolutionary. Complex song structures are not for the gentlemen, the catchiness has its price. So no 'monster' from an album, but oomph! for that by no means. "
