Info:
Bethlehem´s fifth full-length album “Mein Weg” rides through pure uniqueness and individuality which can not be compared to any other known sound in this universe. Since their commencement in August 1991, “Mein Weg” is the strongest yield of Germany´s most outrageous pack. These ten fresh tracks (accumulating over sixty minutes) are a mishmash of all previous Bethlehem styles with their own touch.
“Mein Weg” has it all: distinctive melancholic melodies, sturdy heavy metal riffs, rapid Black Metal blast beats, mega-slow doom dirges, dim piano lines and emotionally serene rock themes. The album is fulfilled with a trained German vocalist who juxtaposes between growling, screaming, singing and experimental output. The lyrics are strange German verses which convey tainted ideas and are the sickest ever for Bethlehem. The fourty track production is a necessity for all worshippers of fat and heavy guitar-tone and pumping bass.
Bethlehem always stayed true to themselves. They never altered their uniqueness and have made a strong come back with “Mein Weg.” This album is Bethlehem’s new definition for a modern sounding yet underground production.
“Mein Weg” was done for listeners who can no longer stand today clichés and low standards. This release appears in a special digipack containing an 18-page booklet. Bethlehem is back. Stronger than ever.
