Angsty, direct and unstoppable, the new single ‘Gender Dich’ from Hertzcasper is a delicious burst of German Punk concocted in the depths of some sweaty basement venue.
The riff that opens proceedings immediately alters you to their harsh intentions. Then, the spoken word vocals arrive with a venom and unrest that you can feel regardless of your native tongue.
However, there is more to this track than initially meets the ears…as the chorus is truly infectious. Swapping out the gravely angst of the verse for a more refined, yet equally powerful, melodic chorus that is hard not to sing along to. By adding in this undeniably catchy chorus to an otherwise aggressive track shows both sides of the band wonderfully.
The electro breakdown later in the song hooks you in, luring you into a moody soundscape that builds and builds, gradually simmering to a boiling point ready to explode. One huge vocal scream later and you’re thrown back in the deep end for a final chorus.
It’s one of the most thrilling singles we’ve heard so far this year and we can’t wait to see what else is to come from them.
