Eisbrecher Album: “Suende”

Eisbrecher is one of my favorite bands, and I have been waiting for the US version of this album to come out. I was definitely not disappointed.

The best tracks are, in my opinion, the title track ("Kann denn Liebe Sünde sein?") along with "1000 Flammen" and "This is Deutsch" (which is hilarious if you speak German, as it is arguably a parody of the gratuitous use of the language by people who don't speak it). I also liked the remixes, as they were the reason I was holding out for the American version of the album.

This is a must-have for those who like NDH or German metal in general, and something that people who only know of Rammstein can use to broaden their horizons a little.

I "found" Eisbrecher a little over a year ago and have been mesmerized since I've found them. I have collected all of their albums and am very pleased with them all, it's hard to rate the best album they have out but this was the most recent one I bought and I can't stop listening to it. I would recommend all of their albums to anyone who enjoys Eisbrecher, but if you've never heard them before I suggest buying this album and moving on from there. The music is incredible, Alexx has very powerful vocals that resonate.

Quite simply, "Sunde" is awesome. Just like Eisbrechers last release, "Antikorper", this latest CD contains driving songs with an ethereal landscapes. When you listen to Eisbrecher at night, you feel like your in another world. It is therapeutic for me.

The songs are danceable, but have depth and sincerity. If you enjoy music acts like Type O Negative, Depeche Mode, Sisters Of Mercy, and Siouxise, then you will love Eisbrecher. Bottom line: AMERICA GET INTO EISBRECHER!

I don't know German - nor do I plan on learning it in the near future - but I do know this: As musicians, Eisbrecher is one of the most talented bands I've ever heard.

I'm one of those rare people who could care less about the lyrics - I don't even listen for them. Sure, you could say that's an insult to the musicians, but as long as I'm paying for the product and enjoying it, who's to argue?

It's about the music - pure, pulse-pounding, bass-thumping - when my ears hear it, I know it's true and it's real. This is now, by far, my favorite band. Trust me when I say, I've heard a lot of music in my time (I'm 44). Very seldom do I get chills from a specific CD, but Sunde delivers and is a very strong representation of this band.
