Reviews & Discussion
I might be stupid but why calling those songs "quasi-nazi" songs ? I dont really indulge myself into those political considerations but i didnt find any nazi-related lyrics. True, my german is quite poor. I dont want to restart the old controverse (and in my mind outdated) about the whereabouts in the neofolk sub-genre but you could simply mention the romantic and nature-oriented philosophy behind this LP. Please, no more abusive statements. Perhaps "equivoqual" lyrics. Perhaps not. But essentially, moody, melancolic and romantic atmospheres ...
Basically, a disappointment. Surely one must be prepared to the sort of music Allerseelen usually presents, although Edelweiss is a challange I myself can't stand up to. Quasi-Nazi songs, strange melodies, rapid atmosphere shifts, and an overall superficial surface of this record makes me think, Why bother ? I am not saved from negative mood and thoughts despite great efforts from the vocalist Rosa, who manage to deliver some bits of beautiful and poetic vapour around, but it's just not enough. And why did they include Sturmlied and Mit Fester Hand will I never understand.
