about the album

Tonnen von Hall, the groundbreaking band redefining the boundaries of contemporary metal, is presenting its debut album “Ein Abdruck vom Messer im Herzen.” This trio is not for the faint-hearted; they deliver decibel-crushing heavy music with super intricate, dynamic rhythms that will leave you breathless and wanting more. This album is a statement of intense, virtuoso musicianship, featuring complex structures and rigorous physical endurance that melds primordial energy with high-tech innovation.

Prepare to be obliterated by their twin guitar pyrotechnics and mesmerizing polyrhythms. Tonnen von Hall's discordant guitar riffs and twisted rhythms push the envelope of tech metal, blending cerebral chromatic harmonies with intuitive solos that soar above the organic machinery below. The thunderous drumming and razor-sharp riffs drive the sound forward, creating a rave-like ecstasy that is both exhilarating and hypnotic.

The production is powerful yet smooth, transparent, and detailed, presenting this innovative music in an accessible way. With super low tuning and massive intensity, Tonnen von Hall’s uncompromising compositions are a display of innovative craftsmanship. This is more than just music; it's an experience of unparalleled power and raw energy that seems like it was put together by a genius supervillain. Embrace the future of metal with Tonnen von Hall and witness a sonic evolution.
