The Must Have - for every generation

It's probably exactly what the fans expect and were hoping the sweet femininity: Lord of the Lost be calm and breathe their hits into the microphone. Sounds nasty? Maybe, but not at all times meant as derogatory. Anyone familiar with the Goth-rockers from Germany and has followed its remarkable rise in recent years, who knows exactly what the quintet has it: Hard sounds, a rich bass, balanced guitar rhythms and fat drums. Exactly these instruments are the ones who now strike quiet tones or completely silenced. Actually Swan songs is dominated by the piano, the tragedy known as Gassenhauer Dry The Rain (the missing on any concert), Antagony or Prison (which is played on every concert). For this you can hear Chris Harms, who does not break out, not shouting into the microphone, no loud desperation grabbed the album.
Despair? Yes, because the album sounds dramatic sad and fits to today's solar eclipse, which was reminiscent of a world end briefly. That songs like Beyond and beautiful or See you soon even quieter, sadder can perform who would have thought? Chris Harms manages once again, completely convincing, radiates an immense tranquility and together with his band created a new album which, although hardly new songs has (the double CD has eight new songs!), But to a or other piece takes a very different view. The music is not for the quick drive, it is to enjoy, to conscious consumption over a cup of tea. For the spring an unusual sound world that opens up, but it is hoped to add power and actually from the Staaden time enough.
Lord of the Lost had not climbed up the career steps, if they had ever matched the expectations. It is through the unexpected, by the constant over-to-transcendence and the constant change while maintaining loyalty to himself, the group is interesting and appeals to more and more fans. With Swan songs they once again prove its versatility and show that their ideas are not finished yet.
The album is suitable for all and also for those who are not on Gothic, Rock and heavy guitars. Classical fans could hereby have fun and as soon is Easter, I can only guess: Gives the CD once the parents or grandparents, find much too loud and cracking the your music otherwise. Your favorite band is also different.
