The pipes lead the way, accompanied by generous use of chiming acoustic guitars and the lilting vocals of Holger Franz to craft a suitably wistful atmosphere, shifting between harder-hitting metal rhythms and softer, melodic rock songs. Other good tunes include "Der Totmacher" and the wonderful closer "Glut in euren Augen". Franz' voice uses a mid range here but each line is delivered with passion, his performance throughout the album is memorable. You did not vote yet. This is pretty much pure pagan folk, but if you're expecting snarls or growls this is not the place.

As for Germany, well that's anyones guess. Lead guitar, as always with this style, is at a premium, with Stephan very much the lead musician.
Nachtgeschrei are essentially a German rock band possessive of folk instruments, sometimes performing 'heavier', sometimes very soft and sappy, and always sounding like In Extremo. Nachtgeschrei are one of those new bands you really want to keep a keen eye upon in the near future, as this did well to capture my attention with its swift touch of folk-ish magic.

It is with "Fernweh" where things really start to plummet however - acoustic guitars take the lead during vocal patterns in what is nachtgrschrei a pop song. Herz aus Stein, Fermweh, Glut in euren Auge. Folk metal is certainly in vogue at the moment with huge numbers of, mainly European, bands out on the circuit bringing their brands of happy melodies to the masses, and as we are entering the wonderful festival season it seems as good a time as any to dissect the values of one or two of those whom have yet to make their mark on the genre.
Of course, folk metal is perfect fodder for drunken enjoyment at summer festivals and whether its birth was formed with this intention in mind is ewlt but for any FM will it catch on? On the other hand though, there are a lot of calm parts here that fits his voice like a glove. There is however a strong run of tracks from 4th to 6th that stand out somewhat and give a good picture of the heavier and softer styles Nachtgeschrei jump between.
This is something Nachtgeschrei generally manage quite well on the whole, and nachtgesvhrei have avoided any awkward and obvious stylistics leaps that could interrupt the flow of the CD. This is one manly, excellent album, well worth tracking down if you like your folk metal on the playful side i. Nachtgeschrei - Am Rande Der Welt. The fifth track, "Niob", is a slight improvement and returns to the standard folk metal formula but, unfortunately, this back and forth between good if somewhat unoriginal folk metal moments and crappy melodic rock continues for the entirety of the album.
The vocals rrande original, captivating and never descend into the silly antics of similar bands. The simmering acoustics of "Fiur" lament the day before the heavier guitars accumulate with some searing melody, parting for the first vocal track "Muspili" which features some great pipe playing and hard rocking verse.
Nachtgeschrei are a fairly new band to take a stab at this style, and are no exception to the rule, hailing from deepest, darkest Hesse. There are 1 replies to this review.
Review/ Nachtgeschrei: "Am Rande der Welt" | Massacre Records Germany Experimental
Originally written for http: Bands alphabetical country genre Labels alphabetical country Reviews Ma. Early songs on the album like "Muspili" and "Herz aus Stein" are folk metal for the Alestorm generation - all style and no substance, led by said folk instrumentation that make for an amusing bouncy performance but offer nothing substantially new to the genre. One could argue the usage here of the folk instrumentation is different to the norm but the song's structure is so inherently commercial in nature that the band's worth to a folk metal-craving audience has gone out the window and it becomes hard to accept Nachtgeschrei from here on for whatever they want to be known as.
The melodies are often traditional folk-ish tunes that tend to get a little too similar. Though the band cites In Extremo as an influence, and there are some similarities, this is far catchier.
Review/ Nachtgeschrei: "Am Rande der Welt"
The truth is on the other hand, that not many bands, except a few FalconerArkona etc. Am Rande der Welt Nachtgeschrei. MetalThunderMarch 22nd, Other good tunes include "Der Totmacher" and the wonderful closer "Glut in euren Augen". Of course, as is to be expected with this type of music, there are wrlt a few sing-a-long moments, but they fall far short of saving this album from being somewhat disappointing.
Write your own review. I should've known from many Wacken experiences that bands like In Extremo and Subway to Sally were there for the locals only, and Nachtgeschrei can now join that dubious list of disinterest wet all foreigners.
If you've been lacking some melodic German folk metal of late, then you may wish to sample the sophomore effort of Nachtgeshrei, which serves up a slice of liter metal fare with some moving bagpipes and synthesizers, ever tasteful and used solely to drive the ghostlike native tongue of vocalist Holger Franz.
