Best of Deutschemusik.net

So I'd hoped to write up the second part of my review for Marraskuun lauluja tonight, but I don't have enough time, and I need to be rushing out the door to work shortly. As a result, I debut tonight my "Best of Deutschemusik.net" series. These will be the best of the reviews from the Deutschemusik.net reviews page.

Tonight I present to you one of the reviews written by Deutschemusik.net founder and owner Nick Wright.

Treibhaus - Feindbild

Treibhaus is a band which hit the German Music scene just a few years ago with the release of their debut album Unsterblich. The blend of techno rock and sharp vocals which the band produced caused many people to turn heads. While promotion of the first album was relatively small, the band stepped up the promotion for the release of Fiendbild and even made the first couple of songs off the album avaliable for download to give fans a taste of what to expect of it. It was a great way of promoting the new album and I will reassure anybody that liked those songs, that the rest of the album is just as good.

Being a rock/metal fan I was definately impressed by the debut album and I could see things would be even better with the next release. I have not been disappointed, Curt and the guys have delivered another excellent piece of work with explosive rock beats with gruff powerful vocals.

The first track is called Kodex and sums up what sort of action to expect from the album. The guitars are heavy yet still very controlled so you can hear each note clearly. Curt's voice is generally the same style as the debut which is great. He definately has a unique voice which intergrates fantastically with the music. The second track called Besser is a good example of how well his voice suits.

There are plenty of techno elements once again. I am sure that many of you will agree with me when I say that this album just makes you want to dance. It has been a long time since a rock album has had this effect on me. One track in particular called 'Radikal' is very techo orientated and I think it comes out very well. The band tried something new which is what I like to see more of these days. The album was criticised by one reviewer for having such simple notes. Well I say while some notes might be simple, it dam well works and its sounds great.

For me there doesn't really seem to be a weak song on the album. The boys of Treibhaus should be very pleased with this album. I can see the band going onto much bigger things especially if they produce albums as great as this. I will give this album my first 5 star review as it thoroughly deserves it.

10/10
