Callejon - Wir sind Angst (2015)

For over 10 years Callejon are raised in the German Metal of all doubt and any trends. Their last two albums Blitzkreuz and spoken German landed in the top ten of the German album charts but that's not really really matter, because the five Düsseldorf never stay long with the status quo on, but evolve with consistently. Now they are back with their latest work: WE ARE AFRAID is absolutely uncompromising in every respect. Gloomy, direct and to the point so so Callejon never sounded. The sound of WE ARE AFRAID lives and breathes in contrast to the usual sterile plastic-metal sound current productions. Here we have a completely analogous recorded, mixed and remastered Kraftwerk Album.
Fear and anger are the dominant themes of this album, and anger Callejon have every reason: We watch the news as lulled a movie from a comfortable life we stopped to ask us what is really important. WE ARE AFRAID. We, humanity, are afraid. Always. Of what we do not know. Before the stranger. From ourselves. WE ARE AFRAID is the swan song for the security in which we have entrenched ourselves as comfortable. Callejon say in dramatic style that needs to be said, Forbid you! You do not accept everything the future is not a gift.
The power of industrial and social anxiety Callejon put the power of music and art meet. Therefore, they see themselves still as a DIY band in the best sense (singer Basti Basti is responsible for all artwork and most music videos).
