The German language, for some reason, is particularly complimentary to industrial metal. H&G combine both German and English language lyrics that fit together quite well, each used in their most appropriate passages. The mechanized Panzer strike of this band’s music rattles the listener, with instantly moshable riffs that are crisp and catching.

‘Fikk Dich Mit Fire’ slams a freight load of diamond plated steel into side of groups like The Prodigy and Rammstein. ‘Kaiser Von Shizer’ continues the militaristic sonic deconstruction, featuring a catchy chorus break and overtly dark operatic samples that sound like a ghost with the voice of a coloratura soprano. When vocalist shouts Fikk Dich Mit Fire, motherfucker…lookout! At the end of this track, you know this guy is not fucking around. "Disco Fire Scheissmessiah" continues the theme of inferno with a riff that sounds like it could be the best that Al Jorgensen never wrote.

The group’s guitar tone is absolutely freakin’ killer on this record and production- wise, everything is clear, buzzing and in-your face. The groups tactful use of cool, anthemic samples and neat guitar effects further adds to the coolness factor and on ‘Burning Bush’ you get some dirty samples of orgasmic ladies that would make Rob Zombie blush. “The bush is on fire, let that mutha bitch burn”.

An awesome album cover complete with lyrics and cool imagery, a trashy, satanic band image and an album full of killer Hell spawned industrial metal tunes guaranteed to put your feet directly in the fire and your ears in slamming cyber-Satan metal heaven! It rocks big time – get it or get crushed by the massive Industrial Wermacht known as Hanzel Und Gretyl!
