The German pioneers of industrial metal return with ‘In the Devils name’. Three decades into their career, MEGAHERZ have undoubtedly become one of the most important bands of Neue Deutsche Härte, which they proved with their critically acclaimed 2018 full-length, Komet - storming charts and peaking at #7 in Germany. With their newest offering, In Teufels Namen, MEGAHERZ raise their voice again and direct their gaze to where it hurts - criticizing conspiracy theories, religion and society as a whole, but also facing inner struggles and pain.
The album begins strongly with the epic title track, detailing their critique on the church as an institution. We find both incredibly HEAVY songs (like ‘Der König der Dummen’ - commenting on conspiracy theorists), as well synth-melodies, electronic influences and beats. On tracks like ‘Rabenherz’ (Raven Heart) or ‘Engelsgesicht’ (Angel face), the band show an emotional facet, while the second is a reminiscent of the band’s all-time hit ‘Miststück’ (Bitch). Overall, In Teufels Namen is an energetic ride providing the listener with pure industrial metal at its best!
Released Mid August 2023 by Napalm Records.
