Caspar Brötzmann Massaker - it's a Love Song / vinyl LP

Archaic, infernal, radical, consistent, courageous…Following the release of his LP The Lovers And Destroyers with Caspar Brötzmann Bass Totem in autumn, 2024, renowned guitarist Caspar Brötzmann and his band Caspar Brötzmann Massaker offer a new record featuring two different live versions of “All This Violence,” recorded in Vienna and Dresden, with Saskia von Klitzing (drums) and Eduardo Delgado Lopez (bass).

Founded in 1986, Caspar Brötzmann Massaker became a significant force in the 1990s alternative rock scene. The band’s albums The Tribe (1987), Black Axis (1989), Der Abend Der Schwarzen Folklore (1991), Koksofen (1993), Home (1995) and Mute Massaker (1999) are heralded underground classics, having a profound influence on bands and artists like Sonic Youth, SUNN O))), Faith No More, Neurosis, Sumac, and Helmet. The band’s music is textural, visceral, arresting, and urgent, marked by repetitive, hypnotic intensity, and Brötzmann’s signature guitar sound. The legacy lies in his fearless experimentation, dissolving boundaries between classical music structures and amplified instrumentation in rock music.
