Reviews

The third album was praised by the trade press for being more diverse than its predecessor. In addition, they have detached themselves more from the music known from Rammstein and set the template again. Only Metal Hammer reduced the album, just like its predecessors, to a Rammstein copy and insulted the group as Germany's most brazen plagiarists .

"" Ultra "is therefore an all-round coherent and mature album."

- Matthias Weise : Metal.de

“In addition to various old hits, some from Ultra will rightly make it into the live program. That brings us to the topic. Ost + Front are simply better launched live than canned. Often they seem too interchangeable without that certain bite, which from a purely visual point of view doesn't go together at all. "

- Rene W .: Time for Metal

"Make it or break it? Since OST + FRONT, in addition to well-staged RAMMSTEIN plagiarisms, are finally starting to set their own accents and simply deliver damn good hooks, a definite MAKE IT! "

- Christian Wilsberg : Stormbringer
