[engl] Debut album by the Essen combo, which includes members of Swan Songs, Still Talk, A Time To Stand, Torpedo Dreigang, Starry and Cannoneer. The band was founded in 2018 and their sound is based on favorite bands such as Propagandhi, A Wilhelm Scream and Strike Anywhere. Together with a bit of 2000s emo sensibility, their music is fast, complicated and technical, yet melodic and emotionally charged. Fast thrash guitar riffs to hardcore drums beyond 180 bpm alternate with quiet, atmospheric interludes. Singer Lucas switches fluidly between singing and shouts and thus leads through songs that deliberately do not follow a verse-chorus pattern in order to maintain the tension. Fear and anger characterize the themes of the album, the title of which, Unrest, refers to both personal inner unrest and the imbalance of the world. Songs that were written in the context of pandemics, wars and the confrontation with one's own depression set the basic mood. But Unrest also depicts reconciliation and gratitude: for example through the realization that transience can also be beautiful, as in the closing track This Island Earth.
