In the seventh year of its existence BROKEN KEY turn out a certain independence, it further emphasizes its groovy Metal as a relic of the 1990s consistently convincing, even if it is neither original nor compositionally startling.
The Halle alternate between driving hammers like the opener "Brick" or "Never Say No" and almost rock Arschwacklern as "Face In The Dust". Their Achilles heel is clearly singer Rene who is not really flexible bawls, but is at least understandable and no stupid texts writes. In its best moments BROKEN KEY rolls almost BOLT THROWER-standard ( "Sick Soldiers"), and one must explicitly consider praise.
CONCLUSION: Stump is trump, but not only - BROKEN KEY distinguished their high hopping factor defiance by lovingly detailed songwriting within the given framework and thus represented a year rarely occupied space somewhere between contemporary metalcore and crossover stuff that 20 years after his mass appeal amazingly abrasion appears.
