UMUR
"Return of the Glidefedt" is the 5th full-length studio album by Danish heavy metal/ thrash metal act Red Warszawa. The album was released in September 2004 by Gusten Fætter Records.
...5 albums into their discography Red Warszawa haven´t changed a bit. The band still embrace their trademark brand of crossover thrash, traditional heavy metal, punk and odd re-arranged children´s tunes. All delivered with silly and at times quite bizarre lyrics predominantly in the Danish language. There are as always some seriously nasty lyrics on the album, but they are delivered with a humourous fart humour angle that´s hard not to find charming. Well...oddly charming that is. As usual there are several killer tracks on the album like "Return of the glidefedt" ( I can´t translate the title properly, but check out the complete Slayer worship in the riffing instead), "Alkohol", "Skinboy" and especially "Technoparty". The latter features a ridiculously infectious and groovy riff and some hilarious lyrics about going to techno parties. The lyric line "Husk at drikke vand, Husk at drikke vand, Husk at drikke vand, ellers dør I" ("Remember to drink water, Remember to drink water, Remember to drink water, or you´ll die") is simply epic in this context. And yes there are a couple of fillers on the album too, but they aren´t too bad and I´m actually well entertained throughout the album´s playing time.
The album is well produced but still with the right raw sound that suits the band´s music so well. The production is courtesy of guitarist/ main composer/ occasional vocalist Hævi-Henning.
"Return of the Glidefedt" is one of the better Red Warszawa albums IMO and a 3.5 star rating is fully deserved.
