Overplayed Band of the Week: We Butter the Bread With Butter

Calling these guys overplayed is a bit of an exaggeration at this point since they are still very underground, even in their home nation of Germany. Nonetheless, We Butter the Bread With Butter is bound and determined to become the next pop culture metal sensation, and all I can do is lower my head in shame. The band’s shtick, at least on their debut album Das Monster aus dem Schrank, is to make electro-deathcore ala Attack Attack! about German nursery rhymes. This album came out last year, but apparently the band is in the works of releasing their follow up which is bound to become popular for one stupid reason or another. Now, the concept of this band is passable, there are a lot of crazy bands with crazy names, but We Butter the Bread With Butter FAILS at completing anything resembling quality, original material. The material on this album is typical pop culture bullshit. I don’t know where the heart of the band lies in terms of artistic credibility, I mean they could genuinely think they make good music, but it seems to me like these guys are jumping on the wagon and could give two shits about metal or its credibility. This band mocks good music with this sorry attempt at humor and by using every cliche modern metal has to offer. I can’t believe this shit is even metal.
However, as is now AMR policy, I leave it up to the reader to decide with a LaLa.com link to the album in its entirety. No signing up, you can give the full album one entire listen! If you get through it that is…
