German horrorpunk legends The Other are back with a brand new studio album. I love this band, they are my favorite European horrorpunk band beside The Crimson Ghosts. Last couple of albums, they moved a bit from traditional horrorpunk sound making the songwriting more complex, adding more metal and industrial elements along with some gothic that was there from day one. Hey, but that is the beauty of horrorpunk scene, being so diverse and original, adding different elements to the basic punkrock.

This time, I have a feeling that The Other somehow returned to the more old shool sounding batch of songs, being more straightforward horrorpunk rather than metal and industrial, yet retaining all the gothic influences with Rod`s recognizable beautiful vocals, superb harmonies on backing vocals, anthemic riffs and choruses that make you wanna listen to this album over and over again.  The songs that somehow stand out to me as being fantastic although rest of the material is strong too, are Turn It Louder, Vampire Girl, Fading Away and The Silence After The First Snow. This is awesome album by the legendary band.
