Brånd is a project from my hometown, Linz, and they've been at it for decade now. Their fusion of Austrian folklore, black metal, post-punk, and krautrock results in a sound that's completely their own. While all of their previous EPs are excellent, this is the release where they truly found their sound. The result is an album that towers above the current scene. Brånd deserves every bit of praise coming their way. Heilige Linz!
It feels like quite a few tracks don’t really go anywhere or end without feeling finished.
There are definitely some standout songs here like "Pay Pigs" or "Bedrot" but about half the record left me wanting more.
15 Mike songs and every one of them is pretty much ass.
Earl’s side is better, but also lackluster compared to his previous release.
Quantity over quality on this one. I’m not sure what to do with a one-minute hip-hop track that goes nowhere.
This shit ain’t grindcore.
But I have to say the beats are not the problem, most of them are interesting with a nice ambient touch.
The Most Important German Working Class Record until this day. Didn't age one bit.
