This time i want to review another - unfortunately - much too unknown band from Berlin.They're called "Härtzbrecher", formerly also known under the name "Echelon" by when they also released an album named "schwarz weiß" which was far less worth listening compared to their current material. It was hard to find in between dozens of boring semi-professional amateur music releases from the KM music group and there seem to be only limited quantities available in the time being, however i'm really happy all the searching was not in vain and i can recommend another outstanding piece of music to you now.

As a big mistake they chose the label KM music for their record, which in fact turned out to be
a very wrong decision for all bands that ever signed under KM music, because there was never done any promotion and only a very weak distribution, so almost no band (not even the early Tyske Ludder!) within the KM music group ever had a breakthrough and acceptable selling rates.
What a shame, i bet every half-talented label manager could easily have made a Topact out of Härtzbrecher!

Next to Eisbrecher, Megaherz and OOMPH, Härtzbrecher unleash the power of twelve very unique songs to hit the dancefloor and stereo systems out there. And at the latest when "la guitara en oro" starts playing I bet lots of Deutsche Musik Fans will have a hard time not to crank up the volume and enjoy the catchy melody. This song had been well worth a sinlge-release and could have boostet the bands popularity at once. But there's of course much more to find on this cd that i'm so convinced of. "Grausam" for example sounds more like industrial music and deals with the harmful aspects of facism, therefor it reminds me strongly of OOMPH's "Gleichschritt" although it has it's totally independent ideas and music. Similar to Grausam are "Danke" and "Glücklich" which are both to be understood as sarcastic criticism on society, that The singers voice might be unusual at first, but i grew to really like it, it's not too virtuos, however succesfully manages to shout all the emotions of the songs' concepts to the listener. It's not really as good as Dero's performances on OOMPH's legendary albums "Defekt" or "Unrein" , but it's fascinating in it's own way and it's a sufficient performance by any meaning.

This album is definitely a must have for all Electro-Rock Fans out there!
