release notes:
The idea for Mehrwertsteuer originated from playful discussions with a
friend about absurd aspects of the elitist financial scene and how one
could combine them in a parodic way with black and death metal. This
resulted in the concept for the first songs, ideas for live
performances, and more-without inverted crosses, satanism, or any kind
of extremism.
"Krone der Schöpfung" ("Crown of Creation") marks the debut album of
Mehrwertsteuer, painting a bleak and satirical portrait of today's
financial and economic systems. Across nine tracks, the album tackles
topics such as taxation, inflation, stock market crashes, bureaucracy,
and social inequality-blending biting sarcasm with despair and sharp
social critique. The lyrics explore the collapse of financial markets
("Börsensturz"), the power of the European Central Bank ("EZB",
"Leidzins"), and the burden and purpose of taxation ("19 Prozent",
"Steuerlast", "Der Fiskus"), while also addressing the struggles of the
working class ("Arbeitsmarktkampf"). Central themes include warnings
against greed, egotism, and the erosion of social solidarity ("Verlust
der Vernunft"), while "Mittelstandsangst" captures the fears of a
once-prosperous middle class facing economic decline. The album fuses
economic satire with an apocalyptic metal sound, forming a truly unique
concept work.
