Caspar Brotzmann Massaker 'Home'

Originally recorded in 1994 and released in 1995, 'Home' is characterized by Massaker‘s ultra-refined riffs of shrieking, screeching feedback, and rattling machine gun staccatos. Exuding confidence, authority and a natural rapport that the musicians clearly had with one another. Certain songs from earlier records were revisited on 'Home' including “The Tribe” and “Massaker” from 'The Tribe', and “Templehof,” “Hunter Song,” and “Böhmen” from 'Black Axis'.

These pieces had evolved following years of rethinking, rehearsing and reshaping them on stage, as well as playing with Danny Lommen, who had replaced Frank Neumeier on drums after 'Black Axis'. These refined versions on 'Home' raise the level of density and tension, the ominous evocations of impending doom, booming threat, and the grim determination that’s always driven Massaker. The 1994 recording of 'Home' at the Steinschlag Studio (of FM Einheit) features Caspar Brötzmann on guitar with Danny Lommen on drums and Eduardo Delgado Lopez on bass.
