Every one track is different from another, except of course that they all are noisy and good.
Songs like "Seele Brennt" or "Letztes Biest" have broken new ground in industrial music - more pop, but simultaneously more attractive then such bands like Ministry or Nitzer Ebb.
A piece of music history.
