Just one year after their debut Megaherz Kopfschuss Megaherz an album that cemented the band’s status and catapulted them once and for all into the top tier of German rock music.Kopfschussis faster, more aggressive, and more focused than its predecessor. The band had honed their sound: the riffs are more precise, the electronics feel more integrated, and the lyrics really stick in your mind.
The absolute highlight and arguably the most famous anthem in the band’s history can be found on this album: “Miststück.” The song became a club staple and remains a fixture on every setlist to this day. But the album offers far more than just this one hit. Tracks like “Herz aus Stein” or “Jordan” showcase a band that is ready to push boundaries and peer into the abyss, both musically and lyrically.
Thematically,Kopfschussoften explores psychological extremes, obsession, and social unease. Alexander Wesselsky delivers a vocal performance that ranges from a whispering menace to raw, forceful shouting. The production is powerful for its time and underscores the music’s industrial character.Kopfschussis the definitive statement of the early NDH phase and an absolute must-have for anyone who wants to relive the energy of the late ’90s in the German metal scene. It is an album without filler, electric from the first to the last second.
