"We, that is, from the beginning to the end, have always been and exclusively us: Krösus, Slinki, Karl & Capri. We've been around since around May 1982, and we make music because only one of us has abitur..." This is Blut+Eisen calling from Hanover and the four are one of my favorite German Punk bands. In their active lifespan they made two 7Inches and two albums, and this is a legacy that others can only dream of and belong in every fucking record collection - I love their angry, catchy, energetic and dynamic songs combined with cynical, caustic and straight in the face lyrics that haven't lost any of their relevance. Schrei Doch! was released via Weird System and is the debut and catch you from the first note. They even caught the attention overseas, as the following review shows: "This powerful album features an energetic, thrashy sound aided by killer production and some truly inventive compositions. Songs like “Lange Gesichter” and the superbly arranged “Dein Leben” add variety to a solid collection of tracks that contain some excellent guitar work. A consistent, strongly recommended record." (Steve Spinali, MRR #14 • June 1984) You see, the only thing tastier are my meatballs, which deserve to be mentioned in the same breath (has anyone ever made them?) Fuck It! Fire free for Blut+Eisen with their sixteen superb PunkrockSmashers (find the second album in this madhouse as well)... and remember, screaming helps!!! 🎸🍺
