[die!] and ex-Megaherz singer Matze "Jablonski" Elsholz worked on their new album for nearly 3 years. The result is an album that is very honest, down to earth and uncompromising. It is a piece of German rock music that really pushes its way forward.
Since 1995 [die!] have released four albums, went on various tours( e.g. with Megaherz). were nominated for the German "Bundesrock“-awards and survived various line-up changes.
[die!] did always show that they have a strong will and that they have a lot of stamina. However,their new album still “Still” really shows how much potential this band has. That Matze Elsholz took over the vocals has put the band into a totally new direction, as far as the music, the lyrics and the themes of the songs are concerned. The lyrics deal with the insanity of society that we come across every day ( “Jeder mit Jedem” , “ Schöner Schein”) as well as the inconsistency of the people that is somehow omnipresent( “Lüg mich an”, “Herzlos”). On “Still” the band shows that Industrial-Metal with German lyrics and with its brute intensity can also contain some irony ( “Daumenlutscher” , “Alles in einen Topf” ) and can also be very captivating (“Durch den Wind”).
If they would not have managed before it is this album that would make [die!] stand out from bands like Knorkator, Rammstein, Eisbrecher and Oomph! who all come from the same genre.
