TEKKNO

Product Information

On 17 November 2012, the band announced after a concert in Düsseldorf that they were parting ways with their drummer Michael Maletzki; he was replaced by David Friedrich. On 6 December 2021, the band submitted "Pump It" into the German national selection for the Eurovision Song Contest 2022, [4] but ultimately were not included in the final list of participants.

Furthermore, they are looking forward to a completely sold-out UK tour in September to present their sixth studio album “Tekkno”. During the worst of the pandemic, I remember the goofy humor of the “Hypa Hypa” music video lifting my spirits and I definitely wasn’t the only one.Kicking off the album is the Aerobics Australia clubcore anthem ‘ Pump It‘, the song that was also used as the band’s application for Eurovision 2022(which the German music committee couldn’t get into) but as metalcore fans, we embraced the sh! And that’s what makes Tekkno actually a fair bit of fun, at least on that absolute most surface level. The band's musical style can be described as electronicore, [32] [33] [34] [35] metalcore, [32] [19] [36] [37] melodic metalcore, [35] [38] post-hardcore, [34] [39] EDM, [32] [36] comedy rock, [36] dubstep, [34] and electro. was less positive towards the different elements the band uses stating, "the disparate elements of the music are all so brightly coloured that often they refuse to mix. A certain edge that wasn’t there before has now become the raving pink elephant in the room, packed with never-ending energy and breaking every boundary.

Their sixth effort, “Tekkno” – available September 16th, 2022, through Century Media Records – is no different. Similarly, ‘Parasite’ takes their older metalcore sound but sprinkles techno and Eurobeat tropes generously to the point where they can’t be appreciated as their own features. Mindreader‘ is our first taste of unreleased material and it opens with a huge atmospheric trance/synth intro that guides us up to a heavy scream section and we’re underway. All of the aforementioned elements flow quite nicely into ‘ We Got The Moves‘ which could essentially be described as a sibling of ‘ Pump It‘, only this time, the heavy chuggy guitars are the main focus outside of the chorus, alongside forceful drums, hard-style synth beats and easily accessible screams and cleans that go hand in hand like a seasoned moshpit fiend and their pop music loving partner at a local show. None of this should work, but it just does, I have not been excited about an album for a long time as this one.Tuonela Magazine described the album as a "mash-up between Eurodance-inspired tunes and brutal djent-sprinkled riffs. My EDM phase may have died a long long time ago, but I can just imagine fluoro wearing Browny losing his mind to this at Summafielddayzeor Global Gathering (I didn’t go to Stereosonicbecause I wasn’t ripped enough).
