Eis Eis Baby

Have recently got into German industrial metal band Eisbrecher (the name is Deutsch for "ice-breaker"). They follow proudly in the genre pioneered by Rammstein, but take it to a more gothic, Twilight kind of sound. I love the mix of heavy guitars with atmospheric synth. And, just like Rammstein, the fact that they sing in German (primarily) means that you don't have to confront the issue of whether the lyrics are any good (I've often thought how Iron Maiden would be even better, if only you didn't understand a word of English).

Suggested tracks: "Vergissmeinnicht" ("Forget-me-not"), "Zu Sterben" ("To Die"), "Heilig" ("Holy") and "This is Deutsch".
