Formed in 1996, Sturm have created their own style of music called Nordische Harte. Fragmente is their third album and we’ll see if the promotional talk from the band is right. Well I can be short about this one. The music is uninspired, the vocals are uninspired and I almost can’t believe what I have to make of this album. The vocalist is trying to sing like Rammstein, but doesn’t succeed in making the vocals something important. Schmerz is the first song, and the music doesn’t sound even that bad, but the vocals ruin everything. Second, the originality. Sturm claim they have created an own style, well let’s make clear that this isn’t new. Rammstein have done it before, Subway To Sally have done it before. The only difference is that they succeeded in doing it, and Sturm fails to do it. I can say one more thing about this album. Boring as hell. I’ve found myself a new plate for putting my drinks on.
