Neue Deutsche Härte. "Direction in music" as Wikipedia says. Rather, the stigma, in my opinion. After all, almost all groups performing music in German and at least slightly related to the industrial metala attribute to this so -called genre. These groups essentially became hostages of this “style”, partly to blame for this Rammstein, thanks to which the world learned about this direction. But namely Rammstein and opened the way to the world for German rocks/metal groups. Personally, I would never know about such beautiful groups as OOMPH!, Megaherz, Unheilig, Eisbrecher, Emigrate, Not loving Rammstein. But the problem is that if the group is at least slightly similar in sounding Rammstein, then she is branded by a clone, and if she, on the contrary, does not look like, then popularity does not shine for her, such a stick about the two ends.
So Alex Vorselski, founding the group Megaherz almost at the same time from Rammstein (1993), due to creative disagreements and constant comparisons of his group with Rammami (clearly not in favor of the first), leaves the group, taking with him one of their participant Johen "Noel Pix" Zaybert And base the group Eisbrecher, radically different in sound from Megaherz And Rammstein. The irony of fate is that Alex He left Megaherz At the very peak of its popularity, when the group released its most famous album Herzwerk II, which is the pinnacle of the work of the group, because it was it that they could oppose the album Rammstein Mutter, a little earlier, and may even squeeze them from the podium of the most popular German group in the world. But the moment is missed, and without Alex Megaherz lost their former popularity, although they continue to release new work with another vocalist. But founding Eisbrecher, Alex Greatly shook the German heavy scene, and I am ready to put this group on a par with such mastodons as OOMPH! And, in fact, Rammstein.
Now let’s move on to the group itself Eisbrecher, Or from German "Icebreaker".
Music Eisbrecher -Modern electronic trip. Electronics is a base on which Noel and Alex are applied hard or soft reefs. Programming is a heart of vision Eisbrecher modern rock: interesting, modern dance songs – high -quality processed. Original hard reefs and setting the bass – so Eisbrecher understands modern electronic rock. The motto of the group – "… ES WIRD KALT".
Singer, lyrics Eisbrecher. He began his musical career for a simple reason- to make it easier to get acquainted with the girls. In 1993, he founded the MEGAherz group, which he left in 2002 due to personal and creative disagreements. In addition to his group, Alex collaborated with various projects as a singer and author of texts. I wrote down songs for cartoons manga with Noel Pix.(for example, for Pokemon Pokemon Welt and Was Fir Ein Pokemon Bist du). Quote: "I have never earned so much money in such a short time". The desire to do something new, for example, to create something new outside the generally accepted framework of heavy music again brought him with Noel, together the musicians “put on their feet” the Eisbrecher project.Alex is remembered not only with his smooth brilliant baldness, but also a deep, and at the same time mysteriously exciting voice. But it is especially distinguished by his acting talent. No one was still able to charm the audience so much, organize a show that has no equal. Moreover, all this – without light and pyrotechnic special effects.In addition to possessing a vote, Alex is also working as a professional actor in the theater.
Musician, Frenchman. The cheerful Munhenet worked as a composer and DJ in various successful sound recordings (for example, b.O.P.). After cooperation with Gun and Faray, he becomes known on the stage. In Germany, he is known and loved under the name DJ Husmaster Kinky. Incredibly, at the same time, he is also a guitarist of a thunderstorm of German heavy music – the MEGAherz group. The musician with such a wide range of interests released an album in 1998, the name of which speaks for itself: "The killer of love". At concerts from Noel, special energy comes. In his eccentric outfit along with dancers, he literally soars over the stage. His hobbies – skating, snowboarding, videos and, not least, the organization of parties – endow it with energy and elegant dance style necessary for creativity. In the process of enthusiastic work with Andy Knote, dance compositions were born, raising the mood: just listen to “Chicci Chicci. Chicci Chicci "and you will feel much better. When working on the album "Digimon" Noel acted as a singer, guitarist and author of music and texts.
The first two single (Mein Blut And Fanatica) went out 2003. Then in January 2004 A debut album with the same name was released "Eisbrecher".

The debut album of the same name "Eisbrecher" (2004) is a serious, professional and strong job. The album was published on 2 disks: in fact, the album itself, and a video application with an interview for German TV Gothic transmission “Shattenreich”, as well as other materials. Black Humor Alex reflects the fact that two CDRs are also invested in the CD-pack for subsequent copying the album to friends and acquaintances.
The album opens the track "Polarster", At the beginning of which Alex is in a broken Russian (!) the language lists the characteristics of the icebreaker. One of them is conveyed by the phrase "feature – unsinkability". The move is quite original, but not quite understandable. Why make any actual inserts, especially consisting of numbers? In the musical terms, it is far from a simple industrial-sound, like that Megaherz. More electronics and elevated sound give some Gothic shade. Under rhythmic songs filled with electronics, sometimes he is drawn to dance. In general, the music is quite chilling, and Alex’s vocals only complement this effect. I especially want to highlight the following songs: Willkommen in Nichts (Welcome to nothing) – A powerful dance song setting the pace to the whole album, Angst (fear) – Perhaps the most tough number on the album, Fanatica (fan) – a program of the program, with a gorgeous solo at the end, TAUB-STUMM-BLIND – an incredibly driven song in which the ease of keyboards, the power of bass and the rigidity of the guitars are intertwined, Frage (question) – A very strong song with the text touching to the core. AND Sakrileg (sacrilege) – a gloomy track filling the soul with some anger, as well as the excellent end of the album.
IN 2006 The second album of the group came out – "Antikörper" (antibody), having no less success than the previous album. He was also preceded by two single – "Leider" And "Vergissmeinnicht".

Antikorper, Without losing the charm of the https://nongamstop-casinos.uk/review/aztec-paradise/ first album, he appeared before us even more mature and interesting work. Great music, intricate texts and stunning vocals of Alex. Here are the three whales (three movers, if you like) of this work.
Slightly reducing the amount of electronic component in favor of guitars, Eisbrecher They made the right move, markedly reviving the sound, but at the same time retained their style, recognizable from the first chords.
The disc is opened instrumental composition Der anfang (beginning). Unhurried, even melancholy, with an abundance of electronics (which is characteristic of all eisbrecher tools). She sets the listener in a peaceful way, foreshadowing an unhurried and comfortable journey through the endless expanses of the Arctic Ocean.
And what is the surprise of the listener when the turn of the track comes Adrenalin (adrenaline). Alex and Ko literally grab the confusing “tourist” and throw drives and crazy energy into the bubbling sea. Not a minute of peace. “Full forward!»WHILE REMOVE Leider (suffering), Antikörper(a kind of march of a deadly epidemic on the planet), Entlassen (released) To the lyrical pier Ohne dich (without you), where the listener will be able to rest slightly and gain air for a new dive.
In the second part of the trip, you are waiting for a dental Phosphor (phosphorus), Actual Kein mitleid (no pity), A little relaxed Kinder der Nacht (child of the night) And absolutely amazing Vergissmeinnicht (forget -me -not).
After such a pressure of drive and beauty, it remains to state that we are in Free fall (Freisturz) And find out how much We will fall deeply (wie tief?). It is there, at the very bottom, the realization that if it is not love, then mutual sympathy, at least. It is a pity that this knowledge comes during listening to the second instrumental composition with the speaking name – Das ende (end). A very pleasant bonus serves Eiskalt Erwischt (caught red -handed) – a lethal track that crashes into the brain for a long time after listening.
In June 2007 Eisbrecher First arrived in Russia, where did they perform in the club "Dot". The audience met the "icy guys" very well. The concert was very successful and Eisbrecher promised to return.
August 22, 2008, The third album of the German gang was published in the world – "Sunde" (sin). The heaviest of all. Only one single preceded his exit "Kann Denn Liebe Sunde Sein", released only in Germany.

In his third work"Aisa", Unlike "Antibodies", made a tangible slope towards the electronics and the guitars went into the background. Perhaps this is the most atmospheric album for the entire discography of the team.
From the start track, you can evaluate a good electronic rhythmic bit, equipped with the necessary amount of melodic seeds, in addition to those that form harmonic layers with background keys or active semlit. Tracks alternate guitar injections: so if if "Kann Denn Liebe Sunde Sein" (Can Love be a sin?) It has clearly allocated, ubiquitous angular riffs with a clearly emphasized severity, as well as the second track, "Alkohol" (alcohol), more like melodic songs OOMPH! with softer, melodic guitars, and the next two compositions are plunged into electronics more, and guitars enter only in chorus. In some places, even the presence of leading games of the guitar can be noted, but in any option-almost every of the songs of a hit that can be calmly served with a separate dish, whether it be remix, clip or single. Immediately after the electronic interludes under the number "five" should be "Die Durch die Holle Gehen" (those who go through hell), one of the leading militants of the album, along with "1000 Flammen" (1000 lights) Between which the composition is located, almost a romantic Synth pop, almost a romantic "Herzdieb" (heart abductor). The main anthem of the disk can be considered "This is deutsch" (this is in German), which combines both hypostases to the wound of the degree – both guitar and electronic. The album ends with a curious instrumental "Kuss" (kiss). Three remixes serve as bonuses on which you can not focus on, but here "Blut und tränen" (blood and tears) It is definitely worth listening.
In October 2008 Eisbrecher I arrived in Russia again and gave two stunning concerts: the first in Moscow, the club "Dot", Second in St. Petersburg, club "Orlandina".
2009 became very successful for the group: they gave such concerts, tickets for which were completely or almost completely sold, performed at festivals Novarock, WGT, Amphi, Zita Rock, Castle Rock, Wacken Rocks, Unheilig & Friends and many others, broke into Top-twelve hit parade in Germany.
June 20, 2009 Eisbrecher performed at their first major Austrian music festival Nova Rock Festival; Other groups, such as Killswitch Engage, Monster Magnet and In Extremo also performed on the same stage.
2010 marked by the release of the new album "Eiszeit" (ice age). The release took place April 16, 2010. The single from the album was released March 19.

This creation is a qualitatively new jump in the development of the group’s sound, there are no instrumental compositions (which is a big plus for me, since they quite noticeably knocked down the pace in previous albums, not counting "Antikorper", in which they played the role of the opener and closes). It was on this album that, in my opinion, the group reached the perfect balance between guitar and electronic sounds.
The album opens with a powerful track "Böse mädchen" (bad girls), characterized by deep basses competing in their depths with Alex vocals, as well as clinging guitar riffs. Next follows the classic march composition for the style "Eiszeit", the name of the whole album. Slow and inevitable, like a tank avalanche "Bombe" (bomb), Changes the cheerful disco-dance "Gothkiller" (Vandal killer), The special charm of which is given by the female backing vocal, involved, by the way, on this disk more than once. The central composition of the album "Die English" (angels), It turned out to be so not only in terms of position among the tracklist of the album, but also in its emotional intensity. Another relatively calm composition of the dance orientation can be called "Segne Deinen Schmerz" (bless your pain), which follows slightly not from this world "Amok" (madness) And "Supermodel" (supermodel), between which the emotional "Dein Weg" (your path). Completes the album Der Hauch des Lebens (Life breathing) – Another composition that perfectly combines all the passion and rage of group style. There is also a fairly strong song in the limited edition of the album "Kein Wunder" (a miracle will not happen) And a pair of remixes.
In November 2010, Eisbrecher participated in the tour with Alice Cooper and Tarja Turunen during Cooper’s "Theater of Death Tour" In Germany.
Meanwhile, the fan base of the group has now spread from Chile, New York and Moscow to Singapore. Alex tells about his mission: “We want to show that we are moving. We are convinced that there are many people in the world who share our views and are ready to join our team, to our common “I”, known as “we”!"
April 29, 2011 The group releases Album/Compilation Eiskalt, in which there are the best tracks of the group in her entire career.
June 11, 2011 Eisbrecher They performed at the festival Nova Rock In Austria, in which groups such as 30 Seconds to Mars, Hammerfall, In Extremo and Linkin Park.
