German “lego metal” provocateur Ben Blutzukker has returned with another wonderfully eccentric creation, this time joining forces with the equally iconic Mambo Kurt. Their new single, “Der Hund von Baskerville,” arrives with a meticulously crafted brick‑film video—an unmistakable Blutzukker signature that blends humour, nostalgia, and heavy‑metal devotion in colourful plastic form.

The track itself carries a curious lineage. Its musical backbone is none other than Black Sabbath’s “Paranoid,” yet the version immortalised here follows the surreal 1970s reinterpretation by German pop duo Cindy & Bert, who famously rewrote the lyrics and transformed the metal classic into a campy Schlager‑styled murder ballad. Ben Blutzukker and Mambo Kurt now push that oddity even further, celebrating its cult status with a tongue‑in‑cheek metal makeover.

But this is only a taste of what’s coming. Ben Blutzukker has spent the past months diving deep into the archives of German pop culture, reworking and “Germanizing” a selection of well‑known songs into something entirely his own. The result is a full album of bizarre, charming, and unmistakably Blutzukker‑esque reinterpretations.

The record, aptly titled Laut Und Deutschlich, is set for release on 16 January and promises a collection of sonic curiosities that bridge metal fandom, retro kitsch, and the artist’s unmistakable brick‑film aesthetic.

Expect riffs, nostalgia, and a healthy dose of absurdity—exactly the kind of cultural alchemy that makes Ben Blutzukker such a singular figure in the alternative music underground. Link
