IV'S MUSIC - INDUSTRIAL BACKGROUNDS SAMPLERS AND MELANCHOLIC GUITAR
TONES SURROUNDS LISTENER BY AN ATMOSPHERE THAT BETTER CAN BE
DESCRIBED AS SOUNDTRACK FOR THE END OF THE WORLD WERE MANKIND SLOWLY
DYING EMBRACED BY AN INDUSTRIALIZED CHAOS OF ELECTRONIC WAVES,
RADIATION POLLUTED ENDLESS FIELDS, AND NEW BORN DISEASES ...
WE CAN SAY NOTHING ABOUT THE LYRICS - THEIR ARE GERMAN AND WE
ARE NOT SO STRONG ENOUGH IN GERMAN LANGUAGE. BASED ONLY ON MUSIC WE
CAN SAY - IV - MELANCHOLIC, DEPRESSIVE AND APOCALYPTIC METAL
ALBUM.
SHUNNED OR IGNORED BY THE MEDIA, EISENVATER, ESTABLISHED 1990,
HAVE ALWAYS BEEN OUTLAWS MORE OR LESS. THEIR HEFTY GUITARS AND THE
GERMAN LYRICS, AT THAT TIME MORE THAN UNUSUAL, WERE AHEAD OF THEIR
TIME. IN THE FOLLOWING YEARS, THEY RELEASED SOME ALBUMS
(CONSEQUENTLY TITLED "I", "II" UND "III"), PLAYED THEIR ASSES OFF,
REACHED MORE AND MORE FANS, AND ENCOURAGED ONE OR THE OTHER ASPIRING
MUSICIAN TO ESTABLISH HIS OWN COMBO (WHICH THEN WAS REGARDED AS
"INNOVATIVE" BY SAID MEDIA...) .
AFTER A CREATIVE BREAK, THE FOUR BLOKES GOT TOGETHER AGAIN (THE
LINE-UP HAS CHANGED ONLY SLIGHTLY) AND STARTED WORKING DILIGENTLY
AND DETAILED TO WORK ON NEW SONGS. THE RESULT: "IV".
THE NEW MATERIAL DOESN'T REPRODUCE THE SOUND OF THE FIRST THREE
OUTPUTS, BUT THE TWO TRADEMARKS MONUMENTAL GUITARS AND MANIC VOCALS
STILL PREVAIL, COMPLETED BY TREACHEROUS HARMONIES AND ONE OR THE
OTHER FAKE MERRY MOMENT. EISENVATER: NOISY, ANGRY, AMBIVALENT AND
ALWAYS ENTERTAINING - A WALL AGAINST THE ESTABLISHMENT, LACK OF
HUMOUR AND UNKINDNESS.
