Free Music Notes for Cannibal Anthem Album
Free Music Review: The Master has returned!
Hit: 4 Stars
If any of you are reading these reviews, it is highly likely: a) you are new to the :W: sounds and are curious or
b) you are a scorned fan wondering if you should even bother with this newest offering, after what went wrong with Evoke, Bone Peeler, and (gasp) yes even Wreath of Barbs!
The good news is, as goofy sounding as the album title is, Cannibal Anthem is a return to form. Disturbing imagery, harsh and distorted vocals in German (and not some made up language!), and even a guitar is thrown into the mix.
After the intro track, "Wir Warten" kicks things into gear with a melody not quite unlike one would expect from a bunch of tribal headhunters, had they the means to grab a bunch of synthesizers and start spouting German lyrics. From there, Die Liebe kicks in, not a bad track, but one that reminds me sort of a "Save Screen" background music a la a Resident Evil video game or something.
The juicy parts of this CD begin with "Jesus Antichristus". I do not know necessarily what the song is about, but Rudy Ratzinger has not sung this angry and convincing since the track "Embryodead" almost 10 year ago!
From there "Cannibal Anthem", "Auf der Jagd", "Pass auf", and "Jetzt", carry the flow of the cd, much like one or 2 song score, though they are indeed individual pieces.
The gems of this cd are saved for last. Personal fave "Ohne Dich" has a nice Winona Ryder (Dracula) sample permeating throughout the song. Think "Hate Is Mine" from WOB, but more upbeat and ethereal. "Hunger" is the first :W: track since "Sag Es Jetzt(Tell Me Now)" that has female vocals ADDING to the track instead of detracting. And finally, album closer "Recht vor Gnade", while not a stomper, is still better than anything you found on Evoke (and possibly Bone Peeler).
As you can see, I'm a long time fan, and really excited about this release since purchasing it several days ago. Owning all of :W:'s works at one time or another, I would put this release between "Eevil Young Flesh" and "Wreath of Barbs" in terms of overall quality. Only reason this doesn't get a 5 is that it's too short! Alas, I'd rather have that, than a 70 min cd of crud.
Here's hoping Rudy keeps it coming!
