Top 10 Best Eisbrecher Albums

Eisbrecher is a German Neue Deutsche Härte band that formed in 2003 when singer Alexander Wesselsky and guitarist Noel Pix departed from the NDH band Megaherz. Although other musicians have temporarily performed with the band, the founding duo remains the creative core of the group, with Wesselsky being primarily responsible for the lyrics and Pix for the musical content.

Eisbrecher released studio albums to major commercial success in Germany, with their 2017 record Sturmfahrt becoming their first number-one hit. Before that, Eiszeit (2010), Die Hölle muss warten (2012), and Schock (2015) entered the top five, with the latter two being certified gold. In that regard, they are far more successful and famous than their original group, Megaherz.

As is typical for their genre, the group mixes heavy rock guitar riffs with hard electronica and techno elements. The sound is often anthemic, martial, and energetic, yet on some tracks also melancholic and angsty.

Lyrically, the songs often deal with controversial issues such as gun violence, political indifference, or corruption, but are just as often self-reflective and psychological in nature.

The group has received positive reviews in the past, especially in Germany, where they have been repeatedly praised for their intense sound and high-quality production. Internationally, the reviews were more mixed, although not bad either. However, many foreign critics seem to believe that the Neue Deutsche Härte genre is reserved for its most famous band, and that everyone else who performs this style of music is simply copying them. That's not true. It is a full-blown genre in Germany.

This is neither a studio album nor a best of. It's a compilation of songs that were previously released as bonus tracks on limited editions and remixes.
It's a nice bonus for the fans.
