Im Pakt Mit Tod Und Teufel



Stahlwerk (1) (aka Stahlwerk Einundneunzig or Stahlwerk 91) is a Swedish synthpop wedding-singer 80s cover band from Lund who you could hire in the 90s and early 00s. The band members used pseudonym hommages to legendary electronic artists they sometimes covered. In mr. Half Rutter's own words On a simplistic level, it was an attempt to bring back the feeling of the 80's, and in particular the attraction of the then new synth music that was hitting the world. A lot of people who were in their teens in the 80's have warm memories of this period in their lives, and at the start of the ninetees these people had grown up and were ready to take a short look back down memory lane. In short, there was a strong foundation for a nostaligic synth trip. They set a trend, as the current 'retro' wave proves. At stahlwerk.org there are a few remaining mp3 links. An entire live concert was also distributed on P2P networks in the noughties. An assortment of their songs recorded live in a studio were available for download on their homepages, of which only stahlwerk.org remains today. Stahlwerk are perhaps best described as pretty capable, ambitious and enthusiastic. But nothing can hide the fact that there's a little something lacking to the original versions to their chosen covers. This is not a biased opinion, but rather how their style must be described, making them tangent to the trend of consiously and enthusiastically naïve musical expressions that came to be popular in the first decade of the new millennium. Stahlwerk (2) was a german RAC (Rock Against Communism, or nationalist extreme right/nazi worshipping) Oi band. Read more on Last.fm.
