`:I had never heard of the German band The Other before I set:'
`:out to review them, so I had no idea what to expect. My :'
`:first impression? Total shock! Being a die-hard metalhead, :'
`:the music I prefer must have balls. And NEW BLOOD (out :'
`:August 30 in North America from Steamhammer/SPV) will have :'
`:your fangs on point and blood boiling. :'
`: :'
`:Track 1, ôBack to the Cemetery,ö begins and the sound of the'
`:bass is amazing. Then the absolutely masterful vocals of Rod'
`:Usher hit you like a freight train. ItÆs so impressive how :'
`:this guy melts into the mix, yet overpowers it at the same :'
`:time. It carries on into a very metal-edged riff with some :'
`:cool double bass work. The vocals draw you in and thereÆs no'
`:turning back. It just gets better and better as it plays on,'
`:and when it gets to the chorusùôBack to the cemetery, to the'
`:cemetery, we must go!öùyou may find yourself singing along :'
`:as if possessed. Bringing on nostalgic flashbacks of what I:'
`:always thought punk should feel like, itÆs just beautiful! :'
`: :'
`:The music is so well put together that I have to assume :'
`:people into all kinds of heavy music will have no :'
`:complaints. It is very melodic but also quite heavy. The :'
`:songs have a very basic structure thatÆs easy to follow with'
`:instruments emitting sounds that are totally suitable for a:'
`:band called The Other. It would have been a shame for them :'
`:to have gone for a more raw-sounding record in an effort to:'
`:be ômore punk.ö NEW BLOOD sounds very modern, crisp and :'
`:clean, but that metal edge gives it more than enough kick to'
`:appeal to people who donÆt usually listen to this type of :'
`:music. :'
`: :'
`:Their imagery is also truly worthy of the horrorpunk :'
`:moniker. THE OTHER initially began as a Misfits cover band :'
`:hailed by the press as ôEuropeÆs most popular horrorpunk :'
`:band.ö A glance at their photos here will show you they are:'
`:still somewhat in Misfits worship modeùbut this is not a bad'
`:thing. My guess would be that the Misfits would love the :'
`:hell out of these guys too! :'
`: :'
`:This is not at all a one-dimensional type of band. The music'
`:is not redundant. They show a lot of heart and make their :'
`:music a lot of fun. If you donÆt have the lyrics in front of'
`:you, the vocals are very audible, but after taking a look at'
`:them I was stuck on one word: brilliant! To make people :'
`:think of sick things with a smile on their faces is a :'
`:talent, and these lyrics do just that. They strike a nerve :'
`:and your funnybone. ItÆs like a party in a cemetery. You are'
`:surrounded by gloom, yet having the time of your life! :'
`: :'
`:One standout track is the Stephen King-themed ôCastle Rock.ö'
`:The music is very upbeat, with the amazing vocals :'
`:referencing some of KingÆs greatest work. Lyrically, this is'
`:a real treat for any fan of the authorÆs stories. Edgar :'
`:Allan Poe also proves worthy of The OtherÆs homage; ôThe :'
`:Burialö is actually their fourth Poe song. H.P. Lovecraft is'
`:referenced as well with ôDemons Walk the Earth,ö yet another'
`:ripping song that gets your head banging and makes you want:'
`:to sing along. :'
`: :'
`:With the music varying in tempo, The Other never lost me. :'
`:When I hoped for a dose of speed, I got it. When I wondered:'
`:if something was different was coming, it arrived. When I :'
`:thought it could not get any better, it did. There are not :'
`:too many albums with this many songs coming out these days :'
`:that stay in my player until the end. This one I started :'
`:over as immediately after it was finished. :'
`: :'
`:Another track that really stands out is ôThe Lovesick Mind.ö'
`:One of my first impressions after seeing and hearing The :'
`:Other was that theyÆd be a great band to use for a horror- :'
`:film soundtrackùand it turns out theyÆre already doing so! :'
`:Gris GrimlyÆs Poe-inspired WOUNDED EMBARK OF THE LOVESICK :'
`:MIND will feature the aforementioned track, which is very :'
`:different from the rest of the record. ItÆs a very hypnotic:'
`:song with vocals that reminded me of the incredible tones of'
`:Peter SteeleÆs higher end. UsherÆs range is far greaterùand:'
`:I do not mean to imply he has an especially deep voice, but:'
`:his delivery is smooth and he stands as one of the greatest:'
`:vocalists I have heard in a long time. :'
`: :'
`: :'
`: :'
`:The Other has a lot to offer; NEW BLOOD blew me away and :'
`:mark my words, you will be hearing about this band. :'
`:Scheduled to appear at Wacken this year as well as many :'
`:other big festivals, The Other has risen from their graves :'
`:to deliver their undead brand of horrorpunk, and are far too'
`:good to go unnoticed. :'
`: :'
`:The Other is: :'

`:Vocals: Rod Usher :'

`:Guitars, Backing Vocals: Sarge von Rock :'

`:Drums: Dr. Caligari :'
