Press Reviews warkraft MP3 reviews reviewed by sal march 1999 good band name choice! warcraft II is a totally cool game. the band warkraft have definite rammstein inclinations. both bands are very similar in style - heavy guitar, some electronics and a low, deep voice. i don't understand a word of german but i do like what this band has to say. i like them especially for the vocal style they have. while the influence of rammstein is unmistakable, vocally they also remind me of my dying bride. aside from my references to other bands, warkraft add good driving guitar riffs to their music and mixed with the electronics, the slowly evolving progression in the songs is most tasteful. the style is almost gothic in its intensity and darkness. i only wish i spoke german so i could understand the lyrics. nevertheless, i am very impressed with this band from bavaria and wish them well. MP3s reviewed: flammen, meine liebe, schwarze robe "TAUTAU" I just wanna dance all night long to that, funky tracks, sound like I'm at a Detroit party, very heavy design too! It's all good. TauTau says this is techno metal and if they insist I'll take their word for it although it sounds more industrial to me. What does "Blutwurst" sound like to me? Like having your guts ground up and flung at you while under the influence of known drugs illegal everywhere on earth. In other words I liked it. And there's a lot to like about "Blutwurst" whether it's the effects soaked mix and insistent drone of, I'm assuming guitar and or bass with massive amounts of flange on top of dynamically interesting synth lines and techno beat. I'm not a huge techno fan but what I hear on TauTau's music, including the three other tunes on their page, are very well done. If all techno had a as good a sense of melody and timbre as this set I'd be a bigger fan. Listen to this. I don't care if you like folk music, you need to be pummeled a bit to let you know what going on in the outside world. By Bruce Satinover WARKRAFT - "Flammen" This is an interesting song. What begins as a synth-laden fireplace, ends as an Industrial mish-mash. It is sung in german, and I am not fluent in that language, so my understanding or review of the lyrics is non-existant. The synth in this song is well done, and it is a good musical idea. I really liked the song towards the end. However, I have a bone to pick. The song is extremely repetative, with almost no melodies or harmonies, just loud drums/guitar. Not much going on to keep my attention. On an overall note, I did enjoy the song, but I think it still needs work. By Pete, Artificial Child
