Eisbrecher in concert at La Machine du Moulin Rouge: we were there, we tell you

They are German, they play indus metal and they literally knocked down the room of the Machine du Moulin Rouge in Paris on Tuesday, May 16, 2023. They are the members of Eisbrecher. Back on this musical moment as powerful as exhilarating!

It was a full house in Paris that awaited Eisbrecher this May 16, 2023 to the point that it was even difficult to find a way into the Machine du Moulin Rouge. After several cancellations due to the health crisis, the Germans were finally in the capital this Tuesday night. A satisfaction for the Parisian fans of the band who were impatient since 2020 at the idea of seeing them play again on a Parisian stage, after their show at the Trabendo in October 2017.

So it's done. And we might as well tell you right away, but Eisbrecher really turned the small venue of the 18th arrondissement, located just a step away from the mythical Moulin Rouge, upside down. It is necessary to say that the German group has its small secrets to cause exalting musical moments. Very close musically to his compatriots of Rammstein, Oomph! and Megaherz, Eisbrecher offers a clever mix of Neue Deutsche Härte and industrial metal. With his powerful and bewitching voice and his undeniable charisma, the singer and leader Alexx Wesselsky succeeds in getting us on board from the very first tracks.

Efficient and catchy tracks that Eisbrecher pulls off with an amazing ease. From the inimitable " This Is Deutsch " to the powerful " Verrückt " through " 1000 Narben " and the inevitable " Prototyp "... the tracks played by Eisbrecher this Tuesday night at the Machine du Moulin Rouge show once again the talent of this band, which no longer counts its hits. To date, the German band has 8 albums to its credit, including the latest one"Liebe Macht Monster", which includes the hit " FAKK " played on May 16 in Paris.

On stage, the energy of the group is undeniable, so much so that this communicative ardor has become the trademark of the formation, thus provoking, this Tuesday night in the pit, a succession of pogos. Some slams followed and even a small wall of death in the small room of La Machine!

On his side, the singer Alexx Wesselsky forces the admiration. Very expressive and theatrical, the singer expresses himself - to our great surprise - in a perfect French, revealing us at the same time his hidden talents of humorist. We also really appreciated the moment of the photo session, where the group put themselves in situation so that the spectators immortalize them in funny situations. But the final objective was above all that the public drops its telephone to concentrate only on the music and the live.

Alexx Wesselsky also has a strong taste for disguises: glasses and kepi, navy uniform, military uniform and chapka without forgetting Bavarian uniform and harmonica to interpret with brio the famous Yodel!

After about 1h30 of set and two encores, the 5 members ofEisbrecher reserved a nice surprise to their fans. While most metal bands do the traditional pick throwing, the Germans chose to throw their famous polar bear stuffed animals into the crowd. And the fans seemed visibly conquered!

This Tuesday night, it is certain, the audience felt physically exhausted, but morally refreshed and happy to have attended this beautiful musical moment, to the point of looking forward to the next show ofEisbrecher in Paris!
