Did you review a single metal album (except for the one in The Playlist of Life) during Metal Month II?

I briefly talked about a grindcore album (that Xysma demo), but otherwise, nope. Definitely one of the months in which this journal featured the least metal.

Ah, right. You realize there was more metal in my journals last month? Somehow, I can't see that happening again for a while.

More like "Switching Roles Month", or what?


Herr Kaizer says "dance"!
Norway's favourite band:





Artist: Kaizers Orchestra
Album: Ompa til Du Dør
Year: 2001
Genre: Gypsy punk

Imagine what a musically oblivious 12-year old must feel when he is exposed to this energetic blend of Gypsy punk, alternative rock and Balkan folk music for the very first time. I tell you, it will not be impactless. In 2011, Iron Maiden was the most special band I listened to. Yeah. Then, boom, I found these guys, and they quickly became my favourite band. They weren't like anything I had ever heard before. This album, Ompa til Du Dør (“Oompah till you die”) is still one of my favourite albums, and I will guard my signed copy of it with my life.

The album opener, “Kontroll På Kontinentet”, is a fast and crazy gypsy-tinged rocker which sets the general theme of the album, musically and lyrically (the album is about the Mafia, WWII and the Resistance movement). It's followed by the album's title track, one of the band's most popular songs, and understandably so, because it's a big load of fun. “170” might be my favourite track from the album. The throbbing beat, the repetition of the lines, and the dramatic lyrics about a soldier in war get me every time. “Resistansen” is another favourite. It's as catchy and infectious as the common cold. There's not a single bad track on this album. Nope, not one. “Fra Sjåfør til Passasjer”, a ballad, isn't as strong as the other tracks, but it's still a truly great song. This is an album I listen to regularly, and it seems to just get better every time.

5/5
