A review by
KwonVerge September 15, 2010
Eiszeit keeps a heavy character but in its overall duration a melodic and more "danceable" feeling take control. Although they never were that heavy during their discography, the compositions are a bit more listener-friendly, thankfully Eisbrecher are professionals enough and quite inspired to support this move with actions. Throughout the album you'll find, for one more time, what I call deutsch lyricism. The one and only responsible for this is Alexx Wesselsky whose vocals are quite expressive and whether he sings with his deep german accent or in a more melodic/emotive way, he fits in perfectly. Electronics play a 50/50 role, either more apparent and dynamic or lending more melodic passages, according to the song, with the rest of the band flowing in the same mood.
All in all, Eiszeit is the natural successor of Sünde, henceforth I don't think that people who enjoyed them before will be disappointed now, on the contrary, the opener "Böse Mädchen" will welcome you in an ideal way, offering its place to the title track, the beautiful and melodic "Die Engel"/"Dein Weg", the dancefloor friendly "Gothkiller" etc. Whether they break the ice or not, the choice is yours.

Not a huge fan of this style, but Eisbrecher's releases always have a few songs I get hooked on. Same deal here. Good review

I really like them, though I heard some people said the way the band sounds, come very close to Rammstein. To me it doesn't matter as I really like their style in this album too.
