REVIEW – Extreme metal musician Rainer Landfermann debuts a new solo album titled “Mein Wort in Deiner Dunkelheit.” The albums brings ten dark and diverse songs that extend beyond the confines of the intense metal genre.
The first song “Langsam, hinters Licht” demonstrates a haunting resonance. Landfermann’s vocals show a deep gravelly growl that brings a new depth to the folk type of metal music in the background. The next song “Kuntsvoll” produces a classic metal impression with vibrant vocals along a rolling drum riff. “Intuition” begins with a strolling piano sound. The song captures the listener with its heartening screams and slower paced rhythm in the middle. “Genius Drang” is a fast paced rock infused jolt. The closing track “Mein Wort in Deiner Dunkelheit” bring the album to full circle with a howling effect.
The title of the German album translates to “My word in your darkness.” “The album is about introspection, self-awareness, and – ultimately – about beauty:” says Rainer Landfermann, “its experience, appreciation, and sometimes, the painful loss of it.” All music and lyrics on the album were composed, performed, and produced by Rainer Landfermann.
