The song title translates to "Madness." With a spoken male vocal and alternately hiss-whispered or sung female backing vocals, over a repetitive, slow-building, bass-driven indie rock beat, it creates an ominous vibe. I can't find the lyrics and can only make out a few phrases, like the repeated "Hast keine Angst / Ich habe keine Angst" and ""Das ist der Horror / So dass ich weiter gehen." It's minimal in construction; no flashy solos, just bass, drums, and guitar simmering at low heat. But that restraint is what makes it effective. The effect is closer to post-punk or art-rock than standard indie, with shades of Einstürzende Neubauten’s menace or early Nick Cave's theatrical dread. The question is, do these guys take it seriously? From what I've read, no.
