Drecksau always defined their musical inspirations very precisely - just take a hint of the muddy sound of the American south and mix it with the violent German attitude, then you'll pretty much get the idea what these guys are all about. But the best part is that this band perfectly blends both cultures - American and German - delivering a prime example of doomcore madness with a handful of their own original ideas. The exclusive re-release of "Brechen" introduce one of Germany's finest sludge/doomcore groups and a truly original name on the German metal scene. The LP hit the stores on October 26th, 1998... "Brecher" brought thirteen crushing tracks produced in Stage One Studio by Andy Classen, a well-known sound engineer (he worked with such acts as Tankard, Disbelief, Rotting Christ and Krisiun) and ex-Holy Moses guitarist. The album was a concrete mixture of slow and heavy guitars with angry vocals sung entirely in German (except for the short tune "Grey Suit"). With short intros preceding each song, the album's content was a raw and straight-forward ride - no bullshitting. Featuring an extremely deep, heavy and voluminous sound emitting quite negative vibes, this remarkable debut had been more than a decent result for the band, but polarized the audience and the press into either enthusiastic lovers or dedicated haters. However, "Brecher" showed only a small part of the band's potential - the best was yet to come...
