MACBETH
GOTTESKRIEGER (2009)
320 KBPS
East Germany was a forbidden place in the 80s; maybe FORMEL 1’s name was heard a little bit outside those borders and that was it. MACBETH was formed in 1985, disbanded in 1987 and CAIBAN did raise from their ashes for some years; suffering from original vocalist Detlev Wittenburg’s (1989) and drummer Rico Sauermann’s (1993) deaths, the band – under the MACBETH moniker again – came back in 2002/2003 with the "Rebirth" demo.
"Macbeth" (2006) was the kind of debut album that sets some standards high but clearly needs some good timing and ’push’ to reach more CD players. Three years later, "Gotteskrieger" serves as the follow-up that dares to pay the price for MACBETH’s whole history. Standing for "holy warrior", the album’s name does have little in common with a possible assumption expecting a Heavy/Power Metal band of German inspiration. This new album is aggressive, full of anger, with an in-your-face attitude and takes no prisoners in terms of instrumentation. Hostile and relentless, straightforward and malevolent, evil in its own way and killing at sight, "Gotteskrieger" borrows the insanity of mid-pace SLAYER, the resentment of NEVERMORE, the Scandinavian extreme Metal melodies and the harsh vile vice of on-the-edge Heavy/Thrash German Metal ideals and offers a painkiller for the listener’s own apathy. A must try for anyone into metal.
