52 Weeks of Music And Lunch Week 12: Hanzel Und Gretyl's Uber Alles

Food



Last week I ended up at home three days. Lunches included chips w/ refried beans and salsa, KD, and leftover ribs.

Music



Album: Hanzel Und Gretyl's Uber Alles

Genre Industrial Metal

Similar Bands: Nanochrist, Ministry?

Review: Hanzel Und Gretyl are an ironic joke band. They are fake Germans (from New York, IIRC), fake Nazis, and fake Space Tyrants. Their songs include a fair bit of bad German, and a few Nazi references. Despite knowing that it's all a joke, I found the space nazi stuff uncomfortable. Not that I think anyone really thinks "Third Reich From the Sun" is a serious call for intergalactic aryan conquest, but it still squicks me. That said, musically, HUG are fairly solid. I grabbed this album on the strength of S.S. Death Star Supergalactik, which is exactly what it sounds like. Heavy beats, shouty vocals and loud guitars. At times, I found it a bit too metal for me; I walked away from metal back in the late 90s.

Playlist Potential S.S. Death Star Supergalactik is already on Wokrout and Workout(heavy). A couple other tracks might find their way on to both playlists.
