Genre/Influences: Cold-Wave, Post-Punk.

Format: Digital, CD, Vinyl, Cassette.

Background/Info: “Dalet” is the fifth album by Polish formation Schröttersburg. The main particularity about this work is that it has been released as collaboration between four Polish labels.

Content: The opus features 7 songs, which rapidly feel like moving back into time to awaken in the midst of the 80s. The songs are driven by dynamic drums, easy recognizable Cold-Wave guitar playing and all vocals sung in Polish. The songs are now and then accomplished with menacing synth lines.

+ + + : I have to admit I wasn’t that familiar with this formation, but I discovered a great and accomplished work. The constant energy of the drums together with guitar play reminding me of The Skeletal Family brings good-old memories back to life. The Polish vocals are somewhat unusual and even strange for non-Polish natives, but the passionate way of singing is absolutely persuasive. This album stands for power and coldness, but still an outstanding emulation of 80s Cold-Wave music. I’ve been deeply impressed by this album, which I can only recommend.

– – – : It’s a pity the work only features 7 songs, but you better get 7 great songs instead of an endless number of poorly inspired tracks.

Conclusion: Schröttersburg is a band you really have to discover. “Dalet” brings the darkest spirit of the 80s Dark-Wave and Post-Punk style alive.

Best songs: “Portrety”, “M67”, “Keter”, “W Pokoju Świateł”

Rate: (8).

Since you’re here …

… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising.

Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.

If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
