The Rasmus is undoubtedly one of the bands that are established in the in the wind shadow of bands like "HIM" in Germany. This protected area in the shade but they are left very quickly and conquer the German fans of melodic, slightly melancholic rock music by storm! Not for nothing is the current single "In The Shadows"! This energetic song, which is ideal for heating up every party is indispensable under warranty in the next few weeks of the front seats and chart is a welcome contrast to the Dieter Bohlen pabulum with positive energy ... :-) The young Finns are a hard likeable group, who are very successful in their home country for years and have already released several albums. Predecessor of "Dead Letters" is the album "Into" and this also impresses already by beautiful melodies and calmer passages in funky pieces, however, does not sound quite as balanced and well-produced as the current "Dead Letters" album. Anspieltips: "First Day of My Life" (rather quiet) and "in the shadows" Conclusion: even if "the rasmus" sometimes a little too much use at rock clichés and want to show with schrabbernden guitar and double bass, which they have crafted it, so they are only good when they pick up the light electronic influences and concentrate on bring out the really good tunes. For fans of handmade music and fans of real bands that do it after many years finally up !! And for people who HIM but then something too dark!
