First on the individual songs. It was already the missing hardness criticized, that's right, more or less. Only "Dance with me", "Crazy" and "excess Express" show a certain hardness that is reminiscent of the old days of NDH icebreaker. Then there are pieces that float between hardness and ballad such as "prototype" and "eyes below zero", ballads explanatory like "breath" and the title song "Hell has to wait" and even, in my opinion, a song with minimal dubstep impact , especially the intro, namely "Heart of Ice".
It has a few experimental elements, a few hard sounds, but the overall effect is rather quiet. What I do not find bad, because as the voice of Alex very well come into its own.
Lyrically, the album has nothing to hide. While most of the "Crazy" should now be familiar with, you could "prototype" and Frankenstein call, with an emphasis on femininity. The protagonist gathers both the body parts of different beauties, as well as their virtues, to unite the ultimate woman. In "In My Room", one of the means quiet pieces to lock the protagonist, more metaphorical, way to protect his right to the outside world - and themselves.
"Hell has to wait" is a fairly classic love ballad that thus the album title track as well as a know egwisse direction.
The album is lyrically diverse, of course, love, death, sex, and the interference of the own mind or the soul.
Conclusion: It is definitely not a "antibody" or "ice-breaker", but no "Ice Age". For fans of the first hour or specifically the first plates, it may be a disappointment because of the overall impression of the plate is much quieter. However, moves "Hell has to wait" lyrically at a higher level than "Ice Age" and thus stands still very much on. The phenomenon of quiet or chart-compatible nascent bands is probably arrived here as well, just as it did with Rammstein, Oomph, Unholy and co, but I think it's here not too distracting. The claim is, it is very well-produced, the album is very versatile (he does not like Unholy sings an entire album from a ship) and is more like the melancholy tones.
Of course it would have been better to distribute the whole ballads on the previous albums, but now there is something that was missing from icebreakers. I hope in the future to get more harder sounds, but I am not disappointed by this CD.
Therefore 4/5 stars - you are still on course!
