(some rumors █ █ says its depicting a jew eating the babies...would █ █ not be surprised there.) █ █ First song carries the cover art theme with crying █ █ babies sample etc (love the intros old school █ █ horror synth style) and is an kick-ass start of █ █ the album! Blistering cold guitars blast out with █ █ screams and howls! The air fills with ominous █ █ clouds and the sun turns black! Pretty traditional █ █ 90┤s black metal but with its own BΣrnian flair █ █ of decadence, nice variation in rythms through the █ █ song & with some good tasteful guitar solos & nice █ █ bass parts (and secondary guitar melodies peaks █ █ the track even more) towards the end, vocals is █ █ good, ugly and raw and is well placed into the █ █ mix. (as in every song) A great grand start! █ █ Second song comes out and swinging its dick! █ █ First one gets quite surprised as it has a upbeat █ █ jumpy drum stomp similar to Mansons Golden Age of █ █ Grotesques "Doll-Dagga Buzz-Buzz Ziggety-Zag" █ █ (inspiration from swing, burlesque, cabaret and █ █ vaudeville movements of Germany's Weimar █ █ Republic-era) but then they blend it with great █ █ ease into their own song as it progresses, nasty █ █ and rocking song that stands out as one of the █ █ best on the album and i feel it would be great █ █ show stopper out on their gigs. █ █ Third song for me is the weakest song or should i █ █ say not-as-good as the others, it slows down the █ █ tempo and gets a bit darker & somber.... its fine █ █ but just has not as memorable compositions as the █ █ other songs. It fits well though in its place on █ █ the album as a bone-bridge between the more █ █ golden-meat songs. █ █ Fourth track picks up the tempo again and has bit █ █ of an blackish moody folk melody without sounding █ █ off in any way... second half is best i think with █ █ its more melancholic atmosphere, nice screams █ █ wailing over the soundscape. As i have no knowlage █ █ of their language i have no clue on what they are █ █ singing about besides some clues here and there █ █ (like on the first song) but i feel their songs █ █ are enough vibrant to paint up visions in them █ █ selfs to not be a problem. █ █ Fifth song smells quite much of Carpathian Forests █ █ Strange old Brew (more precicely the Thanatology █ █ song) but just as the second song they morph their █ █ inspiration into their own hellish little tale, █ █ and i think they even kicks CF in the balls abit █ █ towards the later part of the song when they █ █ includes parts with Harpsichord (think Mozart┤ish █ █ style piano) and from there on its magnificent! █ █ The scream, the drums, the guitar and bass and █ █ vocals are perfect and that Harpsichord outro to █ █ top it off makes it to one of my personal high █ █ points of music i heard in a long time. Magic! █ █ Sixth song kicks in the door and rapes your █ █ daughter...and the dog! Then its over haha its █ █ more like an hate interlude then a full song. █ █ And now we have come to the final song and it █ █ picks up kind of the sounds of the first song but █ █ includes a surprisingly neat acoustic guitar █ █ melody that is used together with the rest as a █ █ main lead, both harsh and "soft"à like a smack █ █ then a caress then smack again. █ █ Some sweet inclusion of harmonicas comes in a bit █ █ in the song and some guitar solos. It could gone █ █ soo bad with the use of these things but the band █ █ does it perfectly! █ █ When the album is over you feel fulfilled and █ █ enriched for sure, for this is easly one of this █ █ years best albums! It is perhaps a bit short but █ █ better short and tight then being too long and █ █ boring. █ ▓ ▓ ▒ ▒ ░ 1. ChindlifrΣsser 6:40 ░ ░ 2. JammergschtautΣ 5:00 ░ ░ 3. DrumhuldigΣmiramleid 6:07 ░ ░ 4.
