Action: SMORRAH Title: Welcome To Your Nightmare Base: Gelsenkirchen • Germany Style: Death Thrash Metal Genre: Thrash Metal, Death Metal, Groove Metal FFO: Pantera, Sepultura, Exhorder Type: Full-length Format: CD + Vinyl + Cassette Label: Sick Taste Records Release: Feb. 23, 2024

[ Logo: Ersin Kara ] [ Artwork: Timon Kokott ] [ Pic: Anna-Lena Hickmann ]

Bulletpoints: 🔘 Strong debut album from the German powerhouse 🔘 Enormously rich, full-bodied Death Thrash package 🔘 Hard-hitting, precise and catchy material https://smorrah.com/ https://smorrah.bandcamp.com/ Socials: https://www.facebook.com/smorrah https://www.instagram.com/smorrah_official https://twitter.com/smorrahofficial https://www.tiktok.com/@smorrah Buy online: https://sektor12shop.de/epages/6c4798ca-5432-4f6d-8408-8e58beb96d35.mobile/de_DE/?ObjectID=1682740&ViewAction=FacetedSearchProducts&SearchString=Smorrah & https://sicktasterecords.bigcartel.com/product/presale-smorrah-welcome-to-your-nightmare-sick-034

The nameplate of this damn sturdy precision Thrash machine reads 2017 - and, yes, the four Thrash'n'Death metallers from SMORRAH are definitely powerhouse guys!

Location: Gelsenkirchen. That's right, the oft-mentioned city known for its glorious soccer club Schalke 04, also home to the Teutonic Thrash Metal pioneers of Sodom. In this former mining area, the eerie legend of the nasty demon "Smorra", who sits on the chests of sleeping people at night and tries to suffocate them bitterly, has been reverently told for generations. LINE-UP: Marius Wegener • Vocals Daniel 'Pumper' Hartmann • Guitars Christian 'Kraje' Krajewski • Bass Raphael Swierczynski • Drums

Our local patriotic heroes gave their own heavy steel commando such a demonic name. Also breathtaking are the stunningly vehemently riffed, fatally powerful and groovy SMORRAH blasts of notes, skillfully crowned by many technical refinements - DEATH THRASH METAL that just pops!

With charismatic playing strength, the bright formation delivers immensely intense, gripping song loads, all of which drill into your consciousness like a workaholic miner on adrenaline!

SMORRAH have also written some similarly spooky stories on their sooty banner, which the determined and tried-and-tested foursome around front beast Marius hoist high into the half-heartedly blowing trend wind!

With their unmistakable and thoroughly uncompromising sound, paired with gloomy lyrics, the band knows how to convince every time anew! Influences from all Metal genres and beyond come together to form a Groove Thrash monster that takes no prisoners.

TRACKS: 📺 01. Welcome To Your Nightmare 04:51 02. Dead Snake Eyes 04:45 📺 03. Age Of Decay 05:54 04. Killing Spree 03:58 05. Hope Dies Last 03:45 06. Buried Underneath 05:40 07. Death Awaits 05:00 08. Evil Betrayal 05:19 09. When The Tide Comes In 06:25

total 45:42

With their debut album "Welcome To Your Nightmare", SMORRAH release a total of 9 variedly conceived and hellishly powerfully produced songs.

High tension is guaranteed: "Welcome To Your Nightmare" energetically takes the listener on a gripping journey into the dark abysses of human psychology, leaving you hardly any time to catch your breath - the deliciously tight, bludgeon-from-the-bag quartet really does more than justify the legend surrounding the band's name!

Tireless headbangers, maniacal Thrashers and hungry Groove heads will all get their money's worth.

And anyone who has experienced these four likeable, down-to-earth heavyweights from Gelsenkirchen at one of their highly explosive and absolutely sweat-inducing live shows knows that there is only one direction with SMORRAH: Straight ahead! Auf Loik!

DISCOGRAPHY: 2018 • The Evil Within • EP 2020 • Necrosouls • Single 2022 • Live At Helvete • Live Album 2024 • Welcome To Your Nightmare • Full-length

MEDIA FEEDBACK:

9,5 / 10 ➤ "... fat riffs that almost take your breath away ... the fantastic thing about the guys from Gelsenkirchen is that they don't let anything get in their way and do their own thing ... Caution: danger of addiction! Groovy thrash monsters could also be lurking by your bedside, waiting for a favourable opportunity ..." (Bleeding4Metal)

9 / 10 ➤ "... singer Marius can not only growl very cool, he also has clear vocals that get under your skin ... blast their groovy riff monsters almost non-stop around your ears or sneak into your thoughts in quiet passages ... one of the pearls of the underground, if not the pearl of the month ... convinces with honest Metal that defies all trends and fires from all cylinders for the entire playing time!" (Obliveon)

9 / 10 ➤ "... really fat ... produces strong pressure ... SMORRAH process the anger in their songs and you can feel that in the relentless sound ... everything is offered to torture your neck muscles or to let off steam in the mosh pit ... what a great groovy crusher!" (Metalheads DE)

9 / 10 ➤ "... a very good debut ... convinces with great musical work and ingenious songwriting ... never gets boring, but makes you want more ... what stands out above all is the constant musical class ... not only the voice of Wegener can be heard, but also the qualities of the other musicians ... so one perfectly written riff chases the next and the solos are also uniquely played ... Thrash songwriting in a class of its own ..." (Soundmagnet)

4 / 5 ➤ "... a proof to SMORRAH's ability to combine Thrash and Groove Metal influences into a cohesive and devastatingly heavy sound. With unrelenting aggression, haunting atmospheres and impressive musicianship, this album is a must for fans of extreme Metal ... cementing their place among the genre's top acts." (MetalUnderground AT)

8,8 / 10 ➤ "A true Thrash monster ... a very fat debut album, which not only comes along with energetic music, but was also packed with a fat sound. A cool combination of old and new Thrash." (Zephyr's Odem)

8,6 / 10 ➤ "… absolutely pummelling … definitely nods to Kreator and Sodom in here and the other German Thrash classics too … melodic leads … shreddy as hell too in spots … absolutely fantastic debut … crowned as my favourite Thrash Metal release so far this year … if you just love everything about Thrash and German Thrash, then this absolute ripper is going to be right up your street …" (Drako's Death Metal News & Reviews)

8,5 / 10 ➤ "... relentless sound ... powerful ... as an experienced disciple in the thrash metal universe, you can raise your eyebrows with enthusiasm ... the fire of Sepultura meets the groove of Pantera, mixes with the coldness of Sodom and Kreator and yet has a whole unique style of its own that makes SMORRAH stand out from the sometimes confusing swamp of releases ..." (Powermetal DE)

8 / 10 ➤ "... nine songs that kick ass ... mixture of Thrash Metal (musically), Death Metal (vocally) and a bit of Groove Metal (rhythmically) ... contemporary, no cheap Retro Thrash ... manage to inspire the old and the new generation alike ... the production is mega fat and bangs ... a successful debut!" (Crossfire)

8 / 10 ➤ "... skilfully combine the qualities of bands like Sodom (also based in Gelsenkirchen), Sepultura and Pantera. Of course, one or two riffs sound very familiar, but otherwise they sound very independent. Good and varied songwriting. Good debut album. If you like your thrash metal varied and don't just like thrashing speed, you can pick this up without hesitation." (Time For Metal)

3,5 / 5 ➤ "Get ready to bang your head nonstop while raising your horns … old school, 80’s-infused Thrash Metal extravaganza spearheaded by classic riffs … Marius deeply vociferating like a demented beast … unstoppable, violent sounds brought into being while also alternating between more melodic moments and pure savagery …" (The Headbanging Moose)

➤ "... steely inferno ... relentless heaviness ... brute energy and gritty riffs create an atmosphere that is honest, hard and uncompromising ... debut album that perfectly epitomises the heaviness of Thrash/Death Metal ... with menacing intensity reflected in every track ..." (BlattTurbo)

➤ "Do you like your Death Metal with rich elements of Thrash? And preferably with a bit of Groove throughout? Don't worry - SMORRAH is the answer to your prayers... hard, delivered with tremendous precision and still catchy in that cool way... 9 strong tracks... sure to have many hitting the repeat button, because you can just listen to it again... and again..." (Rancor Metalzine)

➤ "... technically high quality ... fast, melodic, groovy ... the guitars have great moments throughout the album ... it just fits ... sounds really cool ... vocals - my goodness where does the man get these sounds from - Marius' style is brutal, varied and simply ... SMORRAH's debut is a board before the Lord and an absolute buy recommendation ..." (MetalZone - Support The Underground)

➤ "... cool Groove Thrash ... really cool mixture ... not only on the cap ... but also great guitar work, also with nice warm parts ... really good ..." (Scream For Metal)

➤ "… unsettling and ferocious … uncompromising and at times groove laden … sounds less like a debut album and more like the work of a band that have been playing together for years, which bodes very well for the longevity of Metal …" (The Razor's Edge)

➤ "... Thrash Metal rocket that could have come straight from the Bay Area ... this thing rattles brutally and just waltzes over you ... it's a real mouthful ... awesome! Fans of the band will be delighted ... a brutally good album!" (Festivalstalker)

➤ "... killer ... strong Thrash album ... if you like Thrash metal, you will definitely like it ... a little underdog pearl ... I can only warmly recommend SMORRAH ..." (Moshpit Passion)

➤ "... finally ... leave you barely able to breathe ... the band's high energy and live performance make the entire 45-minute album an ideal headbanger. The best examples of this are 'Age Of Decay' or 'Buried Underneath' ..." (Hardrock LT)

➤ "...of high quality, with thoughtful songs in a style that pushes technique and groove in equal measure, with enough energy and speed for my needs and yet with a more open approach to arranging where there is room for different tempos and atmospheres. Solid!" (Cvecezla)

➤ "Each song on the album offers a different experience, showcasing different essences that intermingle between the Thrash and Death base … demonstrates their ability to navigate a wide range of emotions and sounds within Metal … agonizing vocal performance … excellent instrumental execution … offering a very personal sound … an intense debut that will not disappoint you." (TNT Radio Rock)

books I read in 2023

I read 240 books in 2023, which is lower than my total books read than the past few years. But it'd be ridiculous to be bothered by it because, hey, I still read 240 books!

I set myself a goal of trying to read more out of my comfort zone this year. I wanted to read 30 non-romance books, 25 physical books, and 10 non-fiction books. By the end of the year, I'd read a total of 54 non-romance books, 62 physical books, and 27 non-fiction books. I'm hoping to continue in this vein in 2024.

Other stats - for fun -

My most-read author was Cassie Mint

I gave out 32 5* ratings

My most-read genre was (of course) romance, 120 of which were contemporary

I owned most of the books I read

I read the most books in June, with 34 books read, followed by August, with 25 books read

My most read trope was forced proximity, followed by hate-to-love

I watched 30 movies in 2022 – down from 46 last year. Here they are, ranked in order. Most of them can be found on Netflix or Amazon Prime Video. I also ranked the shows I watched this year.

The Forgotten Battle -- Dutch-language film with subtitles. I appreciated that the movie included real-world military strategy, and it showed war from the front lines as well as from the civilians’ perspective. It managed to touch on the resistance without making it more than it was, and most impressive of all, the film humanized a character fighting for the wrong side without making him a complete saint.

To the Bone -- Usually movies about disorders, diseases, or issues in general are so focused on shedding light on those things that they forget to care about actual plot or character development, but this one did a great job on all fronts.

The King -- War in the 15th century was ridiculous, but fun to watch.

The Great Gatsby (2013) -- Baz Luhrman was the perfect filmmaker for the glitz and glam of the 1920s. The first 45 minutes of the movie was fantastic. My hangups were the shortcomings of the story – Gatsby works best as a flawless person who doesn’t need love, which is an impossibility. Also, Daisy doesn’t get to make decisions? (I get it, it was the 1920s, but still.)

The Meyerowitz Stories -- [SPOILER ALERT, kind of] This felt like a Wes Anderson story told by Noah Baumbach, if that makes sense. The characters’ behavior was too on the nose sometimes, but usually the humor of such behavior carried the scene. Great casting. Best scene was Hoffman running away from the gallery opening.

Other People -- Balances humor well with the emotional struggle that cancer brings. Probably the best acting I’ve ever seen from Molly Shannon. Also, Jesse Plemons is in every single movie, I think.

While We’re Young -- I’m scared by how much I related to the “older” couple in this movie.

The Lost Daughter -- Sad and beautiful and terrifying in multiple ways. “Children are a crushing responsibility.”

The Seige of Jadotville -- True story and military tactics and a band of Irish brothers against all odds. All my things.

The Devil All the Time -- Dark and sinister and a kind of underdog story. Robert Pattinson continues to successfully shake off his Twilightness.

The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society -- Cute, but with some real depth. I cried.

All Quiet on the Western Front -- The brilliance of this movie (novel) is that it shows what cannon fodder individual lives were in World War I, and it humanized the poor bastards who came of age in Nazi Germany.

Munich: The Edge of War -- [SPOILER ALERT] I never understood von Hartmann’s political position – too anti-Hitler for Lena, who is also anti-Hitler? – and so it was hard for me to get his motivation at times.

War Machine -- Fantastic thesis, humorous at times, but from an overall entertainment perspective…mostly dry.

Licorice Pizza -- Man, what I wouldn’t give to see Phillip Seymour Hoffman in this movie.

Hustle -- I love Adam Sandler in dramatic roles. This one started out at a 4.5, ended up at a 1.5. Sports training montage situation.

The Master -- Phillip Seymour Hoffman and Joaquin Phoenix are always brilliant, but I felt like this one dragged a bit. I never felt like we were building toward anything, which was probably the point, but the entertainment value suffered because of it.

The Adam Project -- Playful in a Ryan Reynolds sort of way, has some heart.

I Came By -- I could probably watch George MacKay and Kelly MacDonald in anything. Without them, this is your standard thriller.

The Power of the Dog -- [SPOILER ALERT] The characters pulled complete 180s. Phil was a complete asshole who turned out to just be a closeted gay man? And chaste Rose became an instant alcoholic without her husband stepping in? Doubtful.

IO -- Dystopia fix. Full of improbabilities and character behavior that didn’t make sense. But I liked seeing the girl from Maid in something else.

Hail; Caesar! -- Only worth it for the subtle quirkiness.

Sorry to Bother You -- Interesting premise and I enjoyed the quirkiness, but ultimately the story grew tiresome.

Windfall -- Interesting to see Jason Segel in a role like this, but otherwise, there wasn’t much here for me.

The Colony -- Dystopia fix. Full of improbabilities and character behavior that didn’t make sense.

Sand Castle -- Cliched. And the military consultant or whatever should be fired. “Hoo-AAAAHHH.”

The Ballad of Buster Scruggs -- These vignettes felt like incomplete ideas.

World War Z -- It’s been so long that this movie was marketed to me that I forgot it was a zombie flick. By the time I realized it, I was too tired to keep searching for something else to watch.

Stillwater -- Had faith in Matt Damon to choose good movies. He did not do so here. Cliched out, and so many things that didn’t make sense. How did he afford to stay in a hotel in Europe for so long?

Blade Runner (1982) -- I have no doubt this movie had a major impact when it originally hit theaters, but forty years later, it did nothing for me. (Except maybe highlighting Ray Finkle’s early work.)

See previous years’ lists here: 2021, 2020, 2019, 2018, 2017.

Lovgivningsproces om huslejeloft under al kritik

Fra fredag eftermiddag til mandag morgen. Den tidsramme fik eksperter og parter til at komme med en tilbagemelding på udkastet til loven om huslejeloft. EjendomDanmark finder den proces uanstændig og med mangel på respekt for et kompliceret forslag med potentielt store konsekvenser. Et huslejeloft skal, hvis det står til Regeringen og deres støttepartier, snart være en realitet. Processen for…

Video

Die ersten Eindrücke sind alle ziemlich durcheinander heraus gepurzelt. Das muss noch mal und präziser.

Niehwöhner und Diehl, dieses.. dieses..so tun als ob, diese aufgesetzte, falsche Freundlichkeit - wie oft ich diese verdruckten Begrüßungen und künstlichen Lacher beobachtet habe, diese überspielte Unsicherheit, diese Gesten... brilliant gespielt! Falsche Freundlichkeit mit Statusgehabe, wer wie “wichtig(er)” ist, zwischen den Zeilen eine Bedrohlichkeit zu spüren. Das Dunkle verkleidet in hinterfotzigen Humor, eine gefährliche “Witzigkeit”. Das kann man heute sehr gut in rechtsextremen Foren beobachten: “witzige” Memes, Humor wird widerwärtig benutzt, um den auserkorenen Sündenbock klein zu machen. Sich erheben über andere, die Deutungshoheit bekommen. Die Afd sitzt im Bundestag und lacht die Redner der Regierung aus. Und George Mackay hat eine Präsenz, die mich jedes Mal wieder aus den Socken hebt. Er spielt den (fiktiven) britischen Pressereferenten des britischen Premierministers Chamberlain, Hugh Legart. Jannis Niehwöhner den (fiktiven) Mitarbeiter/Übersetzer des Berliner Reichsaußenministerium, Paul von Hartmann. Paul versucht in einer kleinen Widerstandsgruppe gegen Hitler vorzugehen. Das sind die zwei Handlungsstränge, die der Romanautor Robert Harris fiktiv ergänzt und parallel erzählt zum historischen Ereignis, dem Münchener Abkommen 1938. Diese Erzählweise hält den Spannungsbogen und die Parallelen zeigen gleichzeitig die unterschiedlichen Führungs-und Politikstile: der Brite Chamberlin mit demokratischen Werten und Hitler im pseudodemokratischen Denkmantel, wobei das autokratisch-faschistische Regime sich über die Entdeckungen von Paul von Hartmann immer mehr enthüllen, obwohl die Zuschauer die historischen Ereignisse kennen, ist die Frage - wie hätte man Hitler aufhalten können? Kann man jemand mit diplomatischen Geschicken aufhalten, wenn jemand Zerstörung wählt, weil die “anderen” weniger “wert” sind? Leider mit Diplomatie nicht, wie der zweite Weltkrieg belegt. Es gab auch keine Friedensproteste seitens der Deutschen Bevölkerung, sondern eher große Zustimmung und eine massenhafte Verblendung der Nazi-Propaganda.

Die Szenenbilder wechseln von London Downing Street, nach Berlin und führen zur Münchner Feldherrenhalle.

Die Parallelen in der Arbeitswelt und wie sich die Beziehungen darin darstellen: - Legart mit seinen Kollegen in London und Premierministers Chamberlain - von Hartmann in Berlin u. München (ständig beobachtet) im Naziregime und mit Hitler

Auch die Beziehungen von Hartmann zu Legart werden parallelisiert und kontrastreich erzählt. Wer vertraut wem was an, wie nah ist man sich? Wie reden sie miteinander oder eben nicht. Von Hartmanns gescheiterte Beziehung zu Lena und die neue Beziehung zu Frau Winter vs. Legarts Beziehung zu seiner Frau

- Die Szenen mit Jannis Niehwöhner und Sandra Hüller, die Frau Winter, seine Kollegin, Geliebte und Komplizin im Widerstand, spielt. Sie ist diejenige, die die entlarvenden Dokumente des Hilterregimes entwendet hat. Die Dialoge! Es ist ein Akt des Vertrauen, diese brisanten Unterlagen jemanden zu übergeben. Für sie ist das lebensbedrohlich, in einem autokratisch-faschistischen Regime ist Widerrede lebensgefährlich.

- Von Hartmanns Beziehung zu Frau Winter. Frau Winter ist mit Paul von Hartmann und zwei weiteren Männern (ein General) in der kleinen Widerstandsgruppe. Legarts Frau hingegeben ist Mutter (traditionelle Rolle) und er erzählt ihr so gut wie nichts und hält sie von seinem Arbeitsleben fern. Seine Arbeit konkurriert mit seiner Rolle als Ehemann und Vater. Legart trennt das strickt, redet nicht, was die Beziehung extrem belastet. Bei von Hartmann und Frau Winter ist die Beziehung mit Arbeit, Widerstand (Weltanschauung/Einstellung) und Liebesleben verstrickt, sie sind sich nah: körperlich und geistig, sozusagen (vorletzte Einstellung). Der Entwicklungsbogen bei von Hartmann, was die Beziehung zu Lena (gescheiterte Beziehung) und Frau Winter betrifft, ist ebenfalls interessant.

Und atomsphärisch- Production Design, Licht, Schnitt, Kamera und die punktuelle-passende MUSIK!

Und leider verstärkt ein Thema der Zeit, an dem auch ich mich abarbeite: Warum entscheidet sich ein Teil der Menschen für menschenfeindliche und unsolidarische Einstellungen? “Glauben” an einen “Helden”, brauchen einen Anführer (Hinterherlaufen ist einfacher) der ihnen Stolz verspricht (aber auf was?). Angst. Angst vor dem Statusverlust, Angst vor Veränderung, Wettbewerbsdenken (Statusvergleich), Enttäuschung, Selbsthass, Kränkung. Das kann doch nicht an mir liegen > Übertragung auf einen Sündenbock. Ein hübsches Feindbild. Und versucht mal mit Freunden über deren Ängste zu sprechen, das ist teilweise so im Unterbewusstsein - ganz schwieriges Thema. Da will keiner hinschauen, derweilen muss man da durch.

Trump, Bolsonaro, Johnson, Putin und Erdogan - die eher einen autokratischen bzw. kelptokratischen Führungsstil pflegen, auf demokratische Werte wird gepfiffen. Und in Deutschland ein ehemaliger Innenminister & ehemaliger Bundesverfassungsschützer, die wirklich äußerst fragwürdig und gefährliche Einstellungen haben - und wie lange braucht es noch, dass das nicht mehr passiert? Solche Leute in demokratischen Institutionen, die demokratische Werte von innen her implodieren lassen? Die Fragen der Protagonisten im Film: Was tun, mit dem Wissen? Wie handeln im Widerstand? Als kleine Minderheit in einem Land, wo die meisten Deutschen eben nicht im Widerstand waren, auch wenn das gerne im Nachhinein so verdreht worden ist. Und diejenigen, die im Widerstand waren, wurden weggesperrt und weggemetzelt. Und dann ist den Menschen, die sich dem Widerstand anschließen bewusst, wie gefährlich ihr Handeln für sie selbst ist. Was ist jeder bereit zu unternehmen, auch zum eigenen Nachteil?

(alles so durcheinander, das muss noch ma)
