MMTH - Paternoster (2017) EN

Friends of Magma Waves that has been a revelation of the post-rock side of this blog this year, they are also from Germany, they also play loud, aggressively guitar instrumental music. Perhaps more rampageous, definitely more stoner-rock - MMTH's "Paternoster" is a well-crafted debut album.

They make noise with all the power of their guitars - it is well-heard in the final part of "Big Mouth" in which they throw punches at the audience like an experienced boxer would only to show mercy with the delicate intro to "Souvenirs". The repetitious punches are a characteristic trait of the band on this album, they underline it while describing their music with "at the beginning you hear pulse". Sometimes it's furious "(It takes two to) Tango", sometimes slower (in the epic "Träumen Wale vom Fliegen").

The musicians used to play various genres of music - from pop up to progressive rock, MMTH is their first approach to instrumental music. A very good one too. They are focused on guitar sounds that can be both deafening and thoughts-provoking (recommended here is "A Thousand Years"). It is also clear that the band is interested in football as with the last track's title they comment on the modern football world's transfer market situation.

"Paternoster" costs 6 EUR.
