German "chanson noire" duo St. Michael Front just released via Auerbach Tonträger (a sub-label of Prophecy Productions) their sophomore album Schuld & Sühne. The Hamburgian duo formed by guitarist Bruder (meaning "brother" in the religious sense) Matthias and singer Bruder Sascha are also streaming the new full-length in its entirety and you can hear it below.
"Dear sisters and brothers of the noble cause, the eternally long wait for 'Guilt & Atonement' has finally come to an end", guitarist Bruder Matthias rejoices. "With the incarnation of our second album, this holy sword against all evil music has been finally forged, accompanied by nine heavenly hymns full of passion, truth, and the quest for revenge. Now, what are you waiting for? Onward to the Prophets, for from today it can be yours!"
Madness reigns where St. Michael Front tread: The duo does not give a damn either about artistic boundaries or musical taboos, but happily combines chanson and schlager, neofolk, pop, and soundtrack with audible relish. On their second album entitled Schuld & Sühne (Crime & Punishment), which for the first time is written entirely in their mother tongue, the two Northern Germans alchemically distil campfire romance, wanderlust, greed and love, melancholy, a thirst for revenge, and anger of Old Testament proportions into pure gold.
