Rosenfeld - Holocaust Eve (CJHM)


Artist: Rosenfeld
Song: Holocaust Eve
Album: Pigs of the Empire
Year: 1991
Label: Skull Crusher

Rosenfeld is still a mystery to me: they sing about the horrors of war and digress upon war crimes but they also flaunt Nazi imagery. From what I've read, the Nazi imagery was for shock value, to wake their listeners up to the atrocities humans have committed, which is leagues better than what Lemmy and Sid Vicious did with their Third Reich imagery. But speaking of the music, Rosenfeld play a pretty brutal style of thrash and use harsh vocals to get their anti-violent message across. Their songwriting is chaotic and they revel in the harshness of their sound, which makes them one of the most memorable bands in the field of Japanese metal.
