I’ve got that album and I love it.
If you’re not a German native-speaker, you’re really out of luck. The music is still awesome, but no translation can preserve the awesomeness of the lyrics.

“belly
just like a spineless clump of comatose biomass
you’re lying there
oh, you’re bleeding
legs
fun and action without limits
you’re dripping everything up
butt
the blood, the fat, the tears
only the pubic area gets overlayed
25 kilograms away
now size 38 fits”
And this is a lousy translation.

my favorite quote in your review is

“Maria Hoff’s tourettes-stricken Cobra Commander”

haha god damn I just imagined watching the GI JOE cartoon and picturing Cobra Commander singing to their music, it fits perfectly.

Good review, I’ll be back again to check out your new reviews in the future.

There are a lot of variations on the translation as Kampfhorspiele is a made up compound word, however the one I like, admittedly a stretch is announced on a radio show sample that starts off JaKa’s tracks on their split w/Poostew so I consider it close enough to ‘canon’. Spiele could be game or play as in theater, ‘kampf’ as struggle or fight, and I guess one could say Japanese Fighting Game.

Japanische Kampfhörspiele doesnt translate to-Japanese Action Hero Fighting Game.more like “japanese battle radio plays “directly. anyways easy to find is you get it from the label.cargo records releases are easy to get,maybe some of the old splits are harder.i picked up a copy fo their dvd at the local hmv a month ago.

Awesome, awesome review. Never really had the desire to check this band out previously, but after reading that, I’m primed to walk to the record store barefoot…even though I know they won’t have it.

Hey Jobby – the label link at the top of the review is the band’s own label, you can email info@unundeux.com to order stuff. This did just come out in Germany, and I assume/hope Relapse/Willowtip/Crucial Blast somebody will carry it soon.

Cynic Gods – Way to make me feel like Troy McClure – you might remember me from Digitalmetal, Resound – Relapse Catalog, Decibel Messageboard issue, or such films as Leper in the Backfield. Thanks for the kind words.

I so much wanna get this band’s stuff, but it’s impossible to locate. They desperately need better distribution!!!
