Stahlhammer - re-release of the group's finest work
Stahlhammer is one of those bands that you simply can?t ignore. Its originality and musical expression can only be compared with such uncommon acts as Rammstein or Leningrad Cowboys. Still, Stahlhammer showcase their own unique style, brilliantly mixing rough, metal sound with pop, industrial and orchestral elements. This exclusive re-release of ?Feind Hört Mit? brings one of the group?s finest works and proves that Stahlhammer is one of the strongest names on the contemporary Austrian metal scene.
Right before recording their third album, ?Feind Hört Mit?, Stahlhammer welcomed a new guitarist in their ranks ? Conrad Schrenk. Schrenk was one of the musicians who worked with Falco, the legendary German pop artist who died tragically in 1998. To honor his memory, the group decided to include two cover versions of his songs ? ?Der Mann Mit dem Koks? and ?Jeanny? ? on their newest LP. These two tracks gained massive popularity in Germany and Austria, and became a strong influence for the F@lco: Cyber Show project, where various musicians, including Makazaria, performed Falco?s greatest hits. Besides the two aforementioned songs, ?Feind Hört Mit? featured eight other stunning tunes, combining hardcore and metal sounds with industrial and classical themes. The band invited a handful of guests on their third album, including opera singers Barbara Karolyi, Tanja Golden and Barbara Schindler, as well as violin player Mario Gheorghiu. ?Feind Hört Mit? is without question one of their best releases and to this day remains a cult classic among the fans.
And today Metal Mind productions presents ?Feind Hört Mit? in a new digipak edition limited to 2000 copies. The material was digitally remastered using 24-Bit process. The release date is set up for 15th September 2008 in Europe and 28th October 2008 in USA (via MVD).
