Welcome
to another episode with the title "things the world don't need",
today's guests are Norwegian MEZZERSCHMITT with their Mini
CD Weltherrschaft. You may ask who they are? Well,
two of the band members, Herr Schmitt and Hauptmann Hammer, better
known as Blasphemer and Hellhammer try to take advantage of the
new marketing strategies and want to sell their piece of crap
because of their status as "the cream of Norwegian Black Metal
Elite". Of course all the clichés have to be used and so the name
MEZZERSCHMITT was chosen, a simple modification of the
German airplane-company Messerschmitt, who were known for the
production of the "Me 262 World War II Jet" - and everything is
just a plain provocation, as we can read in the press info the
band acts completely Non-Political. Of course there's also a concept
behind this Mini CD, so Weltherrschaft is about
Herr Schmitt (Mr. Schmitt), who was wrongly accused and sentenced
and so in his mind he builds up the Mezzerschmitt-Empyre, a totalitarian
system, where people aren't allowed to think or talk free, where
there's no peace and just plain terror. Pretty interesting idea
you might think, but weren't concepts like this used by a lot
of other bands, not as striking and officious as it's handled
by MEZZERSCHMITT, but in a more philosophical, subtle way?
Here it just seems to be convulsive and misplaced, also the use
of the German language is just ridiculous. Also a Mini CD that
contains 18 minutes of Music is much too short to handle such
a complicated topic as extensive as it should be done and it's
pretty cheap to provoke with transformed NS symbols. |
