Emergence
The album Santa Muerte was released under the People Like You Records label . It was produced by Vincent Sorg in the Principal Studios in Senden . The sound of the broilers has changed over the years. On Santa Muerte you can find punk rock with influences from ska , reggae and offbeat . But they also use folk , country or rockabilly elements in their songs. Lyrically it is mainly about the courage to change. Sammy Amara , who composed and wrote all the songs, largely sums up the past few years. In addition to party texts, thoughtful stories are also processed, for example in black, gray, white . Singer Sammy Amara said: “We're trying to give the fans a good time and maybe a little strength. If we can provide some food for thought on top, then the songs have done a good job. ”In 2012 the live album for the Santa Muerte Live Tapes tour was released.

The cover and the booklet were designed by Sammy Amara. Santa Muerte is a fictional city that can mean something different to everyone. The term itself comes from the Mexican Catholic faith and describes a saint figure in skeletal form that is venerated there. The artwork is deliberately kept reduced. Buildings, tombstones and palm trees are shown schematically on a red background, with "Greetings from" written in black, "Broilers" in white capital letters and "Santa Muerte" in black capital letters. In the lower right corner, like a stamp, Santa and Muerte are written one below the other in a circle, both separated by a jagged line. Eric Weiss from Berlin is responsible for the black and white photos. They show the members of the band on train tracks or on building complexes and illustrate the lyrics printed next to them.

Some of the songs were created during the recording of the Vanitas album , but some of them were created much later.
Harter Weg (Go!) Was created in 2009. It has a very simple chorus, but stanzas that sound difficult because of the semitone steps that are unusual in the punk rock or rock'n'roll scene.
In a few years the attitude towards life describes not wanting to be full and not wanting to be sedate: “A few years ago everything should be on fire and in front of us was where we are today - in a few years, ask me something easier, me must see the world in flames. "
In black, gray, white is about patriotism. A phenomenon that Amara cannot understand. He himself says on ox-fanzine.de: "Proud is not a bad thing per se, but on chance, on the country in which you happened to be born?"
“It doesn't matter if I'm sweating blood, crying bitter tears, everything is bearable, there just has to be music all the time.” That is the 33 rpm refrain that addresses the love of music.
From Failure (The World is Yours, Not!) Tells of failure in a strange city. It is based on the broadcast format on television that shows people who have emigrated in order to start a new existence. Amara says: “If you fail here in Germany, then you fail anywhere else in the world.” The basic message of this song is: “Don't just be lazy and sit lethargically on the sofa, hoping that someone will do something changes for you. "
Sing, sigh & drink: "And at the end of the day, give away trust and friendship, the memory and the weight of disappointment that suppresses everything." He is deliberately the last song on this album because, as he says in the interview, not everything Happy ending in life and you have to face reality.

reception
Michael Edel from Laut.de awarded 4 out of 5 stars. Some pieces are "ironed a little too smooth for some", but the band have "delivered a lot of good songs". Andreas Schulz from Musikreviews.de wrote, referring to bands like Frei.Wild : " How nice it is to see that there is no need for cheap patriotism and a martyr-and-victim howling of an oh-so-misunderstood spirit to get on with German-speaking (punk ) Rock to succeed.
