Yay, the comeback of the year... I'm cured!!! - Just kidding, but I feel fantastic! And in keeping with this feeling now to a record that I really appreciate: Ladies & Gentlemen, let's come to a German band whose first two albums immediately impressed me, and the Baby is called Messer; formed sometime 2012 in Münster and on their powerful, atmospheric and feverish debut they consisted of Hendrik (vocals), Pascal (guitars), Pogo (bass), Philipp (drums). Let me start with the remarkable cover of this album. It depicts a sad person, marked by life, and was drawn by Hendrik and the unsettling complexity of the ten songs hardly leaves any time to catch your breath. Suitable for any listener who possesses a certain degree of empathy and is capable of developing feelings, even for other people, and who has had their own personal experiences and isn't like a dull couch potato who finds joy with its 1000 fucking TV channels and waits for so-called PayPal "friends". Whichever lines you choose, Messer's songs breathe despair, disillusionment, contempt, loneliness, anger, restlessness, hope and rebellion. A meal that's not easy to digest, but incredibly authentic. Released via This Charming Man Records, this captivating beauty relentlessly pushes forward, leaving no room for sleep. A Must Listen!
