Provocation can be truly effective and clever (Crass for instance), can be funny (Gwar anyone?), and can be useless and stupid (I'm thinking about all those pretend-nazis in the goth scene). It's a triangle Jesus and the Gurus from Switzerland chose to be part of. While in the past they have indulged on a kind of nazisploitation imagery mixing it with religious symbology and a bit of fetish, the new record seems to focus more on the funny side though still a bit silly. For those familiar with 80's metal they remind At War a lot with this war-praise imagery. Music it's coherent as you might expect. It's martial in the way Laibach are. It's a matter of vocals also, not only of drum sounds and patterns, german language suits perfectly for this purpose. It's slightly folk, folk in the sense of songs sung being drunk at the Oktoberfest, "Sag mir wo du stets" is a perfect example. Musically they might remind Laibach as said before, but mostly they remind Rammstein (yes, they are ripping off a Ministry riff just as them) with a more electronic edge and more pumping rhythms, Feindflug is another name coming to my mind. Distorted guitar is an important part of their aggression nonetheless. There are some instrumental short tracks that sometimes show some more interesting sound and research. In the end, I don't know how much serious they are, they remain just a bit cheesy to me, but they are catchy after a few listenings, success is at hand. Nice "no plastic" gatefold packaging for this Cd
