The complex brutality of Valborg never gets boring. I also need to point out how unique and genius their lyrics are, hitting the core of all important questions; I would label those 'meaningful Dadaism'. Their music reaches out to hidden dimensions within us, you can't shake off the feeling that songs like 'Nahtod', 'Nonnenstern' or 'Vakuum' leave you with. I feel deeply known and deeply lost at the same time. Entleiber
Without hesitation I can label this a masterpiece and also my favourite volume of poetry in recent years. Expressive vocals, impressive heaviness, spellbinding brutality and atmosphere. To paint a picture that strong of a mood, a situation, an existential crisis with minimalistic means is simply the hightest of arts. Straightforward, epic and deep. Entleiber
