Actually, we can keep it short this time. "This is the record I always wanted to make," Alex Wesselsky blurts out dryly. What else is there to add? Except perhaps: "Kaltfront°!" is the essence of Eisbrecher, a flawless distillate at the end of a long journey through the darkness. The separation from long-time comrade-in-arms and producer Noel Pix, a critical operation including a long stay in hospital and the associated concert cancellations - a critical phase for Alex Wesselsky and his Eisbrecher. As giving up is not an option, they stayed the course and - despite all adversity, headwinds and shoals - reached calmer waters again.
"Kaltfront°!" tells the story of all this. Of the struggles and fears, but also of the confidence and trust in one's own strength. That's why it's not only the best Eisbrecher album of all time. It is also the most important. It symbolizes confidence in one's own abilities, a monumental work that sounds powerful and leaves no doubt for a second as to who is the boss in the ring in the German-speaking rock world: Die Schnauze mit Herz. Alexander Wesselsky. Where the songs before were already larger-than-life, wide-legged anthems, "Kaltfront°!" is something like the Marvelization of Eisbrechers: the final transition to the superhero metaverse.
