Album Review
SACHA KORN is a guy whose life is dedicated to music, may it be promotion in East Europe, playing live, or releasing own material. A busy fellow in a nutshell! A fellow who’s released his newest body of work in December, titled ‘Links-Rechts’. The release is split between two discs. The one we start off with is called ‘Links’ (Left), opening with the single ‘Freiheit’, a metallic, uncompromising manifest to an inconceivable mindset. ‘Sehnsucht’ incorporates elements of prog rock covered with slices of hard rock and washes of melancholia before ‘Seele’ elaborates on the serenity and hopelessness introduced in the previous track to almost jazzy vibes. ‘Komm mit mir’ is just what’s needed to get back on your feet again: A blistering introduction, soon to succumb to minor bleak chords and low-key vocals until it all explodes. ‘Unsere Kraft’ brings everything to an unexpected acoustic conclusion, bringing forth folk elements.
‘Rechts’ (Right) begins as uncompromising as the first chapter of the release with ‘Treibjagd’, building on rolling thunder and distortion while retaining the same kind of oppressing mood throughout. ‘Wie Lange noch’ gallops forward relentlessly while ‘Ewige Ruhe’ maintains a cold atmosphere and industrial feeling as desperation takes hold. The penultimate track ‘Warum’ is utilizing spoken-word to tell its story as a bass is sending out deep gravitations towards the listener. Closing ‘Zimmer 100’ is just as much of a surprise as the first closer was, working from very prominent electronic sounds, piano and a balladry touch to everything. Musically versatile and not afraid to speak up. Might be something you better check out if you’re into honest, well-executed rock music.
