THE REVIEW

The Megaherz are a German-origin band formed at the end of the last century.

Since 2000, the year of their debut album release, they have found great success in Europe, receiving numerous positive reviews. Their sound manages to harmoniously alternate Heavy Metal and electronic elements.

The album I'm reviewing is their fifth studio album, aptly titled "5". It begins with “Dein Herz Schlagt”, a calm intro, which then explodes violently; a note must be made about Mathias Elsholz, the band's singer, who will experiment with various singing styles throughout the album. Moving through the powerful “Gottlich” and the solemn “Ja Genau”, we reach “Gott Sein '04”, characterized by omnipresent choruses. “Wann Wirst Du Gehn” appears somewhat subdued, but the subsequent “Mach Dich Frei” is one of the best tracks on the album: this time there is no electronics, nor choruses, just guitars that mark a heavy riff and a solid chorus.

“Eigentlich” follows in the footsteps of the previous track, while with “Zeig Mir Dein Gesicht” the band reveals its Hard Rock influences; it continues with "Ebbe Und Flut", a relatively calm track that opens the door to the best piece of the album: "Komm Ruber (Schattenland)" is the perfect union of hard guitars and massive electronic inserts. The following “Weiter” and “Es Tut Weh” pick up the sounds of “Gottlich” and “Zeig Mir Dein Gesicht”, while the concluding “Augenblick” calmly closes this excellent "5".

In conclusion, we can say that Megaherz is one of the few bands in the Metal scene that uses their mother tongue (German) and the only one, alongside Rammstein, in the Industrial Metal scene.
