AUSSENSEITER - "LAND OHNE NAMEN"
("Metal Bastard"/"Bellaphon"; CD):

This is also already a pretty (if not very) old record that I now do review here for you. Released by the same label and distributor as the STAHLSCHÄDEL record I reviewed some days ago already for ya I also thought that I could also do it with this very one here anyhow, yehp, and so here we do now go. This one was definitely (at least I would say so;-)...) released at the end of the 1990's and that was also the time when I bought the CD. It was back then a time when I was heavily fascinated by german subcultural underground Heavy Street Rock acts like the infamous TROOPERS (I still like this kind of music anyhow and especially this great and legendary band, but I wouldn't seek for stuff like this anymore- for years now- if you know what I mean) and back then I've read everywhere that the AUSSENSEITER (a.k.a. the ''OUTSIDERS'') would play TROOPERS like music(k) cultivated with huge Oi! influences (no, the TROOPERS aren't Oi! anyhow and they never were it anyway), yehp, and so without a second thought I bought this CD here that was also out to be bought by a not so high price already back then. Okay, first of all: Forget totally about the crap-talk of the announced Oi! influences because this here is anything but definitely not Oi! and there are also definitely no Oi!influences on this one to be found. What you get is nothing else than really pretty damn heavy and truly metallic Street Rock & Roll music all delivered to us by some cracking jangling drum playing that comes with a lot of brutal and loud stomping force all the way, a deep popping bass, heavy and metallic guitar playing, abrasive gnarled snarling lead vocals and here and there some few (a little bit weak) back up chants. Good organic groove behind it all, nice tight rhythm work, and all done mostly in heavy yet buoyant mid pace but also at least sometimes here and there coming with some nice suprising arrangements. All in all the AUSSENSEITER really knew how to play and what to do with their instruments. Biggest problems are the all in all to equal pace and rhythm arrangements of the songs that really disrupt every better rating, even it's still some pretty solid and definitely also some good stuff, no doubt about it, but there's also no doubt about it that this here wasn't or isn't anything groundbreaking or lifechanging or something like this. Maybe if it would today be released under the banner of Streetcore or German Rock (a.k.a. Deutsch Rock) and thnigs will be clear what I mean with them, all really very heavy and harsh and metallic stuff, and if you like the TROOPERS and if you can imagine them jamming together with (oh, oh, oh, now it gets really very wickedly 'evil'... again;-)...) the german Right Wing Rock (a.k.a. Rechtsrock) band of the name of KETTENHUND (yehp, 'evil', finally again;-)...) then you should check this record here still out even today (if you still don't call it your own), hm, or better (after I would bet that it's all over the place to be bought for really damn low prices) just get it asap. Nice artwork, good production sound and some pretty good and also everything but not not-interesting lyrics (especially the title track and its lyrics are some great shit), and so you see, you do get here a pretty round package that you should check out if you like the described bands and music, point and fact!!! Even you really need to have a big favor for Metal music, sound and style of writing and playing songs it's pretty good stuff. (7 of 10 points)
