"Neuntöter" CD by Unzucht

Jewel case edition.

The red-backed shrike, or the “Neuntöter”, is a deceiver. Outwardly a harmless-looking bird of extraordinary beauty, he turns out to be a merciless killer who impales his victims on thorns before eating them. 'Unzucht' and charismatic frontman Daniel Schulz did not name their new album after this animal for nothing, they did so because their songs are also similarly deceiving. At first, their dark-rock anthems inevitably get stuck in your head, only to release their sting into the listener’s heart quite unexpectedly and quietly. This can happen in the form of sudden, blunt metal attacks, which mercilessly shatter the dark harmony through the beats of the drums and discordant shouts. The honest lyrics in German are also not afraid of hitting where it hurts. They dig a bit deeper and deliberately deliver a painful sting. 'Unzucht' have a way of bringing the listener back from inferno thanks to a gripping melody, only to start playing the red-backed shrike´s game all over again. 'Unzucht' have enhanced this, their most varied album, with dark rock rhythms that are full of attacks of surprising force. “Neuntöter" unleashes a flood of unbridled emotions, dark melodies, and sudden bouts of aggression.
