I know hero machine originally as dodgeball - so as Rammstein cover band and do so where they have their roots (Is also not to be missed ;-)). This album but definitely a hot sound .. my problem is this attempt ranzureichen in the texts of the poetry of Till Lindemann. The themes are similar as in the Rammstein texts .. and it is also clear attempts ambiguous texts to write. This is sometimes very well done as for the "top priority" ;-) but also sounds frequently as intended and failed. What I also noticed: a few of the melodies are very similar to those of the Finnish metal band Ruoska ... So, on the whole: -Geiler Sound (which is but ajar heavily on other bands ala Rammstein / Ruoska, therefore "only" 4 stars) writing -with trying poetic texts (only succeeds manchmal- 3 stars)
Last I still have to say: Look, the guys live on - whether with their own texts or as Rammstein cover band. Live they are the firecrackers ;-D
