Artist: BREMENN
Album: Promo
Year: 2006

I am one of those people who is always willing to give an ear to new tunes from all over the world. And, when it is industrialized metal, I am always willing to review it on this page too! I wouldn’t write an intro like this if I hadn’t find something new right? Bremenn is a five-piece industrial metal band from Poland, which was formed in 2003. In their biography, the following was stated: “There is no concrete reason for this band not to exist. Music is a form of expression that just attracts me. Its not about some kind of great talent or abilities. I would rather call it a passion, or a will to experience some kind of abstract emotions. In the past I used to play more complex stuff a little virtuosity - so such a proposition like Bremenn may surprise some people.” Lets see if they are able to surprise me too!

2006 brought the release of a three-track promo CD of this band. ‘Lies Won’t Die’ is the first track on it. It’s an easy listening song, with lots of electro elements. The sampling in the beginning reminds me a little to Zeromancer, while the cold synth works give this song a cold and dark atmosphere too. In the end, the guitars seem added to give this song a certain power boost. It’s a good song, specially for the dark nights. ‘Single Idol’ is the second song, and definitely one of a different kind. Powerful, danceable beats are flying through your ears, and a catchy chorus make this song definitely one to remember. People who love the major clubhits by Rammstein and Oomph! will definitely appreciate this one... and I do for sure! Best track of this promo in my opinion. ‘Historia Ostatnia’ is the last track of this promo, and the only one in Polish. According to their biography, this song is written as some kind of dedication for a movie called “Numer”. The ones who have seen that movie, and the ones who can speak Polish, will probably know the meaning of this song much better than I do, but luckly I still have my reviewing powers to unleash on this track. It’s a song with many different faces if you ask me. The powerful mechanized guitarriffs in the beginning gives you the idea of an industrial death metal song, but the sampling afterwards tells you the opposite. Furthermore, there are some ‘sensitive’ vocal parts hidden here and there too. This is a cool track if you ask me, but you’ve got to appreciate some experimental stuff for this one! After this little track by track review, I would like to have a few words about the vocals too. This singer, Jakub Tabaczewski (remember this name when you are playing a game of ‘metal vocalists scrabble’), has some great talents if you ask me. He manages to combine deep melodic vocals with more rawer stuff, and this all in almost perfect English. But, it’s a little harsh to name him the only talented one in the band, because they have proven their talent to me after this promo for sure! I am already waiting for a full lenght now!

Vote: 86 / 100
