As written above; with their latest
album,
Engelskrieger (released 2003), Subway to Sally have gone in a completely
different direction.
Engelskrieger (Angel Warriors) is less
medieval than their previous works, with more
modern instruments and themes. It's quite good, though, as opposed to their mediocre
Album 1994.
Also noticeable in Engelskrieger is a much more
modern approach to their work. Ingo Hampf is no longer listed as playing thirty or so
medieval instruments (the man was a walking
orchestra earlier). The bagpipes are gone. Frau Schmitt is still playing the
violin, but it's more subdued and rarely carries the
melody instead of playing backup.
Oh, and Eric still sings through his nose.
But the
songs are still fantastic. With more emphasis on
melody than most
metal bands, Subway to Sally creates several memorable
tracks. "Knochenschiff" (
Ship of
Bones) is one of the best songs I have heard, period.
