For the past half hour or so, I’ve been listening to a new album called Mama Ist Entzückt by the German blues-rock musician Daloco. Normally, this kind of music isn’t something I would be listening to, but something about the band intrigued me so I decided to listen to some of the music on their MySpace page. Then I noticed that the whole album is available to download as MP3s for free if you just share it with a few of your friends by email. So I did.

I’m glad I did because the musicianship is excellent. Regardless of your personal taste in music, there’s no denying it. Daloco and his fellow musician Bina are both very talented and you can just tell they are totally invested in their music. This is something I can really appreciate, it’s fantastic. So go and give the album a listen. You have nothing to lose.

Krieger’s debut album was supposed to be coming out in August, but the release date got delayed by about a month. The new release date was set to September 28th, but they didn’t tell us much more than that. Well now at least you can take a look at the cover artwork. I’m not exactly sure what it’s supposed to represent… someone’s face with a bunch of color spots on it. But it looks pretty interesting, I guess. Click the small image for a bigger version.

Krieger is a new metal band from Dresden that just happens to be using Pilgrim Management, the same management firm that Rammstein is with. But the similarities between the 2 bands don’t end there. Krieger’s debut album was supposed to be released next week on August 24th, but it looks like it has been pushed back to September 28th according to several online webshops. They’re using the same album formula that Rammstein always uses, too, with 11 songs expected to be on the album. And what do you know, there’s a limited edition digipack version that will be available as well.

OK, so Pilgrim is using their experience with Rammstein’s success for their newcomer Krieger. Can you blame them? What really matters is the music, and it’s great. You can listen to 3 songs on the Krieger music player (also available on the band’s MySpace page) and judge for yourself.

Also, be sure to check out the Krieger Shop which just opened last week.
