Genre: German rock
Places I remember: Keegan's bedroom is where I heard this music for the first time, and then I got the CD from the Warehouse in Cambridge
Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles: Asche Zu Asche is catchy as all get out.
Gear costume: Wollt... is a great opener for their debut album, and Rammstein a perfect closer.
Active compensatory factors: My eldest son played a lot of Rammstein in his bedroom when he was growing up. It sounded vaguely threatening - all those German gutturals and the Giger visuals but in reality, after I heard enough to be impressed, I found that Rammstein provide the perfect driving music.
Propulsive, explosive, it's great to nod along as I drive with this on maximum volume.
Not sure what they were going for with the cover - doesn't scream brilliant German heavy metal to me, and the other weird thing about this music - Jacky loves it, too.
Where do they all belong? I'd recommend the Live in Berlin set next - the video version is especially spectacular.
