Tyske Ludder is certainly not one of the groups that need some special introduction to the EBM fans, moreover, it can be well known by someone who is far from being an expert when it comes to that genre along with names such as Suicide Commando and:Wumpscut:. I honestly admit to be such a person.
How good "Diaspora" is? Is it able to match the outstanding "Anonymous" album? Does it include smashing hits such as "Hexenjagd" or "Monotonie" from their previous releases? All answers can be found here!
At the beginning we're being led into the atmosphere of the album by the short intro in which we hear a distorted voice speaking to us in German. Unfortunately, I have no idea what the voise is talking about, but we can treat it as a trailer of the upcoming musical massacre.
The following three songs attack the listener's ears with fast and aggressive beats, something we all used to associate the German Whore with. Next to that comes the title song, which bring us some catchy melody in chorus.
"For Their Glory" stands out not only for the language in which is being sang, but also due to the strong presence of clean vocals. Yet, it's catchiness should not be understood in the mainstream and plastic way, because the music bears a strong emotional load that would smash any metrosexual poser.
Another memorable thing is the beginning of "Nur ein Traum", which seems to be almost jolly, yet the track quickly becomes a slow and heavy piece of electronic destruction.
Later on we encounter a couple of solid and harsh EBM songs we should expect from a group such as Tyske Ludder, therefore describing each one of them would be somehow pointless... with the exception of the last two tracks.
"Abgsang (Northborne Remix)" appears to be another pleasant thing which we may expect from a qualified German Whore, worth any price. We get an extremely strong, hypnotizing and vibrating melody which creates a mental image of handsome blonde men dressed in black uniforms and voluptuous blonde-haired women in black corsets. It mus be because of the German lyrics, which seems to be just made for such music. The album ends with an interesting tracks that we should associate with "Anonymous" due to its title and melody. Check by yourselves!
Ok, now it's the time for the nagging part, in which I am also going to share some of my personal reflections and sum everything up. The "Anonymous" album is the first EBM realease I have ever heard and that is why it has become my private sort of point of reference in my following encounters with that genre. Additionally, I have a lot of pleasant memories to which the music from "Anonymous" was a soundtrack, I can even recall that we used to call it "A Rammstein with not guitars". Clever, I know, but everyone used to be 19 once.
To conclude, "Diaspora" is by no means a bad album, but if you happened to be a huge fan of "Anonymous", it would simply appear inferior to you. There are certainly some songs on "Diaspora", that will forever stay in your head (I've mentioned them above), but they won't reach beyond the level of Tyske Ludder's previous acts. On the other hand however, I believe aby fan of good EBM would like this album.
