Title - So Schön
Artist - HEMESATH

After the release of the first single Heile Segen for the tour with MAERZFELD in May of this year, HEMESATH will release the new album So Schön (So Beautiful) on October 7th, 2022.

Musically, the new songs not only tie in with the predecessor Für Euch, but go a significant step further in all areas. The band has long since broken the corset of the so-called New German Hardness and shows that hard German rock music doesn’t just have to be bludgeoned.

Driving drums, robust guitars and singer Christopher’s charismatic vocals combine proverbially playfully with gripping melodies (Elysium, Dies Eine Leben) and in the quiet passages sometimes have an emotional impact on the listener’s soul, as Schattenseele impressively shows.

Epic titles such as Flieg or the darkly pounding album finale Bleib bei mir fit seamlessly into the overall musical concept, so that the musical variety and the change between aggressiveness, tempo and melody runs like a red thread through the songs.

Lyrically, the themes move pleasantly away from genre-typical clichés, especially in relation to the well-trodden paths of striking pseudo-provocative text lines.

In any case, it’s worth consciously following the stories that singer and lyricist Christopher has to tell and letting yourself be carried away by the music and the violence of words.

1. Heile Segen
2. Elysium
3. Die Stadt verbrennt
4. Tanz
5. Flieg
6. Schattenseele
7. Dies eine Leben
8. So Schön
9. Bleib bei mir

This quite stunningly mesmeric and brilliantly constructed new album opens on the driving Heile Segen and the melodically catchy Elysium and follows them up seamlessly with the canorous aggression veined throughout Die Stadt verbrennt, the impassioned Tanz and then comes the epic saga within Flieg.

Up next is the soulful depth found hauntingly within Schattenseele and then one of my own favorites is brought forth, the rhythmically excellent Dies eine Leben, and they are in turn backed by the core pseudo-provoking verses of the titular So Schön, the recording coming to a close on the dispiritedly dark Bleib bei mir.

In truth, it is worth consciously listening to the stories that singer and songwriter Christopher has to tell, and letting oneself get carried away by the music as well as its overall eloquence.

All in all, So Schön (So Beautiful) proves that rock music with German lyrics can be exciting, energetic as well as emotional and, in the end, offers lots of fun.
