I am convinced that every life has a soundtrack. My soundtrack \u2013 let’s call it “Eternal Songs” \u2013 is mainly heavy. But often enough it goes straight to the heart, too. <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c.. I remember I was told there\u2019s a new love that\u2019s born for each one that has died ..\u201d<\/strong><\/em>
<\/strong>This song, from the masterpiece “Metropolis, Part 2: Scenes from a Memory”, is still very close to me. In 1996, in the middle of a difficult, dark time in my life, the album was released. I owe some sad hours to this song, but also all the good years that followed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At a concert in Munich, I was able to tell this the band … intense emotions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Harvester of sorrow<\/a>
Metallica<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\u201c.. You\u2019ll suffer unto me ..\u201d<\/strong><\/em>
<\/strong>Basically, the whole album “\u2026 And Justice for All” is an eternal work and the highlight of Metallica’s creative work. The sound of the disc was disturbing at the end of the 80s, even today the temperature in the room drops when listening to it. Never before have I heard such progressive, dry, reduced drumming, such cold, sterile and penetrating guitar sounds. No song on the album is more painful than “Harvester of Sorrow” – and that’s why this track is the essence of the album for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imperium<\/a>
Machine Head<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\u201c.. my middle finger raised ..\u201d<\/strong><\/em>
<\/strong>Pure metal, hard, powerful, loud – an anthem. The song is rousing, the vocals angry, the drumming a perpetual attack, and at the end you need a lot of air to recover from this massive, merciless metal roller.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Cowboys from hell<\/a>
Pantera<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\u201c.. aimed at you ..\u201d<\/strong><\/em>
<\/strong>A neckbreaker. An explosion. Dimebag Darrell – a madman on the guitar who turned the metal world upside down. Rock in Peace!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Master of Puppets<\/a>
Metallica<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\u201c.. dedicated to how I\u2019m killing you ..\u201d<\/strong><\/em>
<\/strong>One, if not THE classic. This song always rocks, always fits. Fast, aggressive, disturbing, with a humid, dusty, morbid atmosphere that only exists at night in a graveyard. A milestone of metal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Cryin\u2019 like a bitch!!<\/a>
Godsmack<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\u201c.. I\u2019m tougher than nails ..\u201d<\/strong><\/em>
<\/strong>There are some aggressive metallers out there – but only a few bands celebrate power metal as deeply angry as the guys from Godsmack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Poundcake<\/a>
Van Halen<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\u201c.. Yeah, she\u2019s gotta have a soul, or it won\u2019t feel right..\u201d<\/strong><\/em>
<\/strong>The song starts with a drill on the guitar – for that reason alone, this song is eternal. Van Halen have been with me for decades with their really brilliant sound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Even the gods must die<\/a>
Nile<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\u201c.. magnificent .. colossal .. \u201c<\/strong><\/em>
<\/strong>I can’t listen to death metal every day – this type of metal is too demanding. But THIS song from the sandy, dilapidated palaces of the ancient Egyptian pharaohs is the exception.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Eyes of a stranger<\/a>
Queensr\u00ffche <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\u201c.. looking back at me .. \u201c<\/strong><\/em>
<\/strong>Queensr\u00ffche is a miracle. Geoff Tate’s voice is a miracle. The whole album “Operation: mindcrime” is a miracle. The last song of the album, “Eyes of a stranger”, is my personal highlight. Pure goosebumps, even after decades \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
