Lichtgestalt - Tempus Fugit

This is the second album from Lichtgestalt, and is yet another band from Germany attempting to jump on the Rammstein bandwagon, singing in their native tongue and a strong beat-driven style of music that is both oppressive and hard-hitting. I have nothing against bands being heavily influenced by others, I mena, where would the prog scene be if no-one could be influenced by Genesis, Pink Floyd et al? But, to my non-informed ears this is way too close to the original, and given that they aren’t one of my favourite acts, I find this album incredibly hard to listen to. Possibly if I was a fan of Rammstein then I would understand the nuances and rave about these guys as apparently, others have done in the past, but this isn’t something to which I will be quickly returning. Of course, if you love Rammstein then you may want to check these guys out at their Facebook page, www.facebook.com/lichtgestaltband
