We continue exploring the world of German music. This time I decided to write about the KSM 40 band. I got really confused by the art on the cover at first. First I thought that this was some kind of crust (these guys love to draw something similar), but when I took a closer look I realised that I was wrong. That's the goddamn super Sonic! Hahaha, it might have been designed in some weird way and it seems like he is not feeling well but it is definitely him. The artist dedicated the cover to the world of old school video games, but unfortunately I'm not a gamer at all, so Sonic was the only character I recognized) What's interesting is that it’s the second time I see such a rare thing. Other than that, there’s a hyper link to download the album. This is very useful for those who doesn't have a vinyl player and they have just bought this vinyl copy to support the band.
The content of "The Taste of Rust" is following: it's a well-balanced hardcore-punk with a reference to thrashcore. Fast, noisy and sencere. It’s nothing unusual but these Germans are quite fun and cheerful. You could listen to all the songs on one breath and won't get bored once. Do you remember me talking about the game-themed cover? Sure thing, these guys didn’t forget to add some music from old school video-games to their tracks. «KSM40 bleibt!» is the song in which you could hear squek and clacking game sounds mixed with the music we are used to.
