Customer Review

First of all: these rezi not aimed at fans, who knew already before the release that's unholy new album awesome. but to those who want to know what word is to "unholy" mean that suddenly appears in all charts.

unholy is a German rock band, better: a rock project. for unholy consists essentially only of the singer, songwriter and musician with the pseudonym of Count.

(Funny:... Both names refer, presumably accidentally doctors to, especially on bela b "unholy" was the cover of the doctors of the kiss-track "Unholy", which kissfan bela b initiated and "The Count" is another song Bela b., quasi his signature tune.)

unholy has been around since the late nineties, but only with this album they were from niche phenomenon to general pop-trend-ding.

on this album sound unholy strikingly like Sisters of Mercy, with German text only. especially the vocal style of the count is exactly the modeled by Andrew Eldritch. on her harder, faster pieces is again the similarity with unmistakable Rammstein, "down" for example is Rammstein pure. Also you can hear influences from techno (in banal scooter-style) and of Depeche Mode keyboardschwermut. and with the melody and the lyrics of the ballads ("Oh-ho, sometimes you hurt me, still it's nice to you just to look" or "hold me, come not let me go") sounds the striking simplicity of the German rock in border area of ​​the German schlager. the two charts hit "Born to Live" and "great freedom" are so undemanding of superficiality that impressed again.

the impression can not be denied: The Count, who sounded sooner rather gruffly, this time with a master plan in the hit parade marches.

The general theme of this album is the seafaring as a metaphor for departure, travel, adventure, danger. succeed one hand the Count here strong images, on the other hand it falls then again in Hans-Albers-romanticism third-hand.

Conclusion: If highly commercial, fashionable rattling goth-rock with like schlager texts, which should access urgently.

narrowly go here three stars, because the production is impressive professional and some tunes actually act magnetically.
