Germany is the land of metal - with bands like Blind Guardian, Rammstein etc, there's no doubt about it!

Here is a somewhat feeble attempt of mine to write a song in German - I hope all German speaking gmc'ers will listen to this one with their sense of humour turned ON! In gray you will find my wishful English translation

Mittwoch at iTunes

Montag, bin Ich so müde (Monday, I am so tired)
Montag, töte Ich ein Fliege (Monday, I killed a fly)

Dienstag, habe Ich das Haus gereinigt (Tuesday, I cleaned the house)
Dienstag...Ich gehe weiter (Tuesday...I move on)

Donnerstag, hörst du nicht das Donner? (Thursday, can't you hear the thunder?)
Donnerstag, Ich bin das Donner! (Thursday, I am the thunder!)

Freitag, ist nur einem Tag...nur einem Tag bleiben...einem Tag...
(Friday, is just a day...only one day left...one day)

Mittwoch! Habe Ich vergesst (Wednesday! I forgot about it)
Mittwoch! Mein Deutsch ist schlecht (Wednesday! My German is bad)
Mittwoch! Ist nicht die beste (Wednesday! Is not the best)
Sch****...habe Ich vergessen (S*** I forgot about it)

Samstag, heute bin Ich nicht so müde (Saturday, today I am not so tired)
Samstag, den ganzen Tag ist ein Fest! (Saturday, the whole day is a party!)

Sonntag..jetzt weise Ich! (Sunday...now I know!)
Ich habe eine Tag vergessen (I forgot about one day)

Mittwoch! Habe Ich vergesst (Wednesday! I forgot about it)
Mittwoch! Mein Deutsch ist schlecht (Wednesday! My German is bad)
Mittwoch! Ist nicht die beste (Wednesday! Is not the best)
Sch****...habe Ich vergessen (S*** I forgot about it)

SOLO

Montag, Dienstag, Donnerstag, Freitag, Samstag, Sonntag (Monday, Tuseday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday)
Aber es ist nicht korrekt! (But that is not correct!)
Nein... Ich habe eine Tag vergessen...jaa (No...I forgot about one day...yeah)

Du weist welche Tag (You know what day)
Ich weise welche Tag ( I know what day)
Ihr...jaa! (They...yeah!)

Mittwoch! Habe Ich vergesst (Wednesday! I forgot about it)
Mittwoch! Mein Deutsch ist schlecht (Wednesday! My German is bad)
Mittwoch! Ist nicht die beste (Wednesday! Is not the best)
Ja! Noch einmal! (Yeah! One more time!)

Thanks a lot for listening!

Awesome, Kris!! This is badassery at it's finest

hehe thanks Canis - you are always very supportive, means a lot!

Nice growling harmonies and strong riffs.

Das song ist sehr gut, und Mittwoch ist eine schlect Tag. Great song Kris, really cool.

Hm, I always thought it's Scandinavian countries, who drag all the metal world

Danke mein Freund!!

Germany is honorary-Scandinavians

ah, I see

I played this for my brother, he thought it was a new rammstein song

wow thanks!! I must say Rammstein have really been my metal heroes the last year. I guess I should look out so I don't get too much influenced by them! Who knows I might end up learning German grammar...! (even though it's going to take a while of course)

That's a lot of fun Kris

Yeah, it really has this "tanz metal" touch

My thought:
While at PMed riffs it sounds really cool, those not muted riffs could have somewhat deeper sound, heavier, now it's... hm, can't find a proper english word.... too screamy?

Other than that I like this one

Haha Kris ich kann gar nicht aufhören zu lachen
Was für ein geiler Song und dein Deutsch ist gar nicht so schlecht

English Version: Kris I can't stop laughing. What a great song and your german is not bad at all.

You should form a German Metal Band.

ah you mean the chorus riff? Yes you are right I could try adding some muting there for a more staccato feel. Maybe something to think about for the live version! Thanks for the comment!

Haha, great Kris I like your pronunciation! I love the heavy riffing (and the super-solo)

hehe thanks! I didn't verify this text with any German speaking person - so I am pretty sure it's full things German school teachers would hate, though!

Ok if you want to know it in detail I can show you the mistakes
But not because I want to critise you it's only for your learning process

One mistake is here:

Donnerstag, hörst du nicht das Donner? You must say: "den Donner" not "das Donner"
Donnerstag, Ich bin das Donner! And here you have to say : "der Donner" I know it#s complicated.

There are a few more mistakes but I really have to say that its very good for the beginning.

Practice one more year and you become a famous German Metal guitarist who sing in german.

Awesome song and idea! There are a lot of grammar mistakes, but who cares? You´re not getting rated by your language knowledge but by your creativity. The last is extremely big. If you do a song in Japanese, I´m gonna eat a broom.

Oh so "Donner" was a correct word at least - I am happy about that!!

I have good idea. Maybe you can record the introduction video in all languages from our Members here.
A lot of work to do but I think it could be very funny.

Ok I am already working on it!!

yeah... although I'd give him another BIG task... make a song in Polish how's about that? And not only write it, but SING it, hehe.....

Yes - and the intro page would sense the IP addresses (location) and show intro video in right language accordingly.. cool idea!

haha... see you next year, Kris

Cool suggestion! You´ve got my vote.


Awesome.


Polish is very difficult to speak, especially that rolled "r". I´m a native polish speaker, but I´m far away from speaking it 100% correctly...

hehe well we don't have to do it for all languages right away..! But yes you are right, we certainly have a whole bunch of other things to accomplish at GMC prior to this!

German metal bands rule....

Brainstorm, Primal Fear, Sinner, the ones you mentioned, it never ends!!!!!!!



And thankfully so.

Awesome tune man!!!!!

I know
I have many English native speakers firends an I know that for them Polish is just a bunch of letters "r" is only one of the problems... big groups of consonants are, too
"chrząszcz brzmi w trzcinie, w Szczebrzeszynie"

"Stól z powylamywanymi nogami" I think this is wrong, isn´t it? Or even "Szczecin" is a challenge for a lot of people.

What a kickass song!
The sound and production is improving for each song

Sounds like Rammstein! Awesome! \m/

Sounds great Kris !

Wonder whats next language you will use for your song ?

Thanks a lot guys - it's great to get your feedback on this!

@ Trond - thanks, yes I try to learn a little more about the production part with every song! I am very happy you notice

@ Pedja - there is a risk I might switch back to English... but you never know!!

Awesome tune Kris, was that standard tuning? I would love to hear it dropped!


Edit: Now that I listen again..Sounds like it is dropped..

Awesome Song Kris. Sounds like you've put a lot of rammstein style in this one.

that is actually pretty impressive really rammstein

--I gave it a quick grammar check-- Awesome work Kris!

Man.. this is awesome! Your voice here is amazing and the riffing is killer. The sound is also very good. I'll download the wav file to try if I can do a better mastering.. however the final mix that you uploaded sounds very loud and powerfull.

Nice tune Kris, keep 'm comming

Perfect Zakk - this will be very useful - as I am thinking about maybe doing some kind of video with subtitles. Thanks! (Oh and of course I am always happy to improve my German grammar )



Wow Gabriel awesome to hear this from you!! Thanks! It would be absolute killer to hear your take on the master! ( I don't have any top-of-the-line maximiser + I couldn't really make use of a multiband compressor on this master... Still I feel that in the right hands, these two things might make the master better)

Hahahah this is awesome Kris The high pitched screams... how do you do that?!

lol, it's fun

Thanks!

I think that I have learned to do these screams by singing in falsetto (normal soft falsetto) - I always used to do that when there was a song on the radio with a female singer, as that was the only way to nail the high notes.

Much later when I realised that I wanted to try to develop a vocal technique for rock/metal - I used the same falsetto "technique" with lots of guts/stomach/diaphragm (basically scream like you are dying but without hurting your throat).

This is priceless Kris, great and funny song!

Thanks - it's awesome to hear this from our Metal-Toni!

Kris \m/\m/ we need to form Your fanclub!:P Really great vocals and riffs.

Sounds like a very cool idea - not sure what happens in a "fan club" though, but I will look it up! Thanks!

Hehe, great song mate
Gave me some eerie flashbacks though, when I had german grammar in school

Great take Kris ^^ Love it
