I have known We Butter The Bread With Butter for ages. I think I heard about them around the time they made their first album. They were weird band but joke didn’t work beyond few listens. Didn’t get their albums. I was curious when Youtube suggested their video 20 km/h. It was actually good song. I was curious to check their other new songs.
I was sold after watching this one. They are real band now. They are no longer just weird curiosity. Original singer is back in band. Can’t say anything about one that was singer in between but Tobias Schultka is just perfect for the band. These songs are from upcoming album Das Album. Band must believe themselves to name album “The Album”. All songs released from “The Album” sound like everything has clicked. Some bands have albums where everything works. Rammstein has Mutter and Paradise Lost has Icon. So far Das Album looks like it could be that album for We Butter The Bread With Butter.
This isn’t from Das Album. It is from Eskimo Callboy’s project where they asked other bands to make version of their Hypa Hypa. Original song is mix of dance and metal. There is link to it at the end of video. It sounds really lame if you hear this version first. I have listened couple other cover versions. Those were serious versions with band’s style which made them kind of boring. The song is quite generic dance song. Original versions humor comes from mixing dance music with metal. It works first time after than it comes dull. Maybe I am spoiled with Japanese kawaii metal which does mix of nice and brutal much better. We Butter The Bread With Butter turned up the insanity which makes the song work better. Singing in German also helps. Sometimes it is better not to understand what they sing about. This is one of those cases.
