Akephalos

Description

On the new album "Akephalos", named after a headless demon from ancient Greek mythology, Unzucht have created an effective fusion of Dark-Rock, Indie-sounds and modern Metal-onslaughts. A lot of folklore legends picture an Akephalos as a headless ghost that cannot find rest. It is rather fortunate, then, that Unzucht have not approached their new album in a headless fashion at all, as each of the 11 songs hits the mark spot on. A certain restlessness is exactly what the songsdraw their relentless energy from, though. More than ever before, the lads invoke a melting pot of different styles to bring their German language Rock-anthems to life. From "Neue Deutsche Härte"- and Industrial-elements in "Fleisch und Ruinen", via the Melodic-Hardcore-foundation of "Projektil", or the first single "Nela" that fuses Alternative-Rock with modern Metal-attacks, right up to the Indie-Rock-meets-Synth-Pop anthem "Der schmale Grat" - Unzucht love zigzagging between unexpected genre leaps and still manage to stay true to their darkly tinged trademark sound. Sometimes hard and straight in your face, sometimes unabashedly emotional, Unzucht steer their ship wherever their hearts lead them. Carried by the fiery voice of Der Schulz, the band does not care too much about adhering to genre clichés which makes them stick out of the crowd in a most refreshing manner.Track listing:Unzucht - Akephalos1 Projektil2 Nela3 Der Tod in mir4 Die verbotene Frucht5 Akephalos6 Du fehlst7 Der schmale Grat8 Nur die halbe Wahrheit9 Nachts im Meer10 Fleisch und Ruinen11 Das sichere UferBonus Track:12 Ein Wort fliegt wie ein Stein - feat.
