But what I can never fault is a true, deep-seated musical and lyrical vision. Sonderkommando is a concept album of sorts, inspired by vocalist Metatron's trip to Auschwitz, and tells the tale of the Holocaust, black metal style. It is incredibly wrathful — a true vision of nihilistic terror. Like some twelve-trick pony flying up from the lungs of Hell, "Sonderkommando" has much to say in its several musical tongues, a vice The Meads have strengthened throughout the years. Every song works as a piece of a whole, detailing rather explicitly the terrors of the Holocaust. This band gets a lot of press for being weird and wacky, and truthfully I never bothered checking them out.

It sticks out like a sore thumb amidst the depression of the rest of the album, but the angry, triumphant tone really, really works. Yuri Cunha go to album. Based on a concept of exploring the Holocaust through the eyes of the Jewish 'Sonderkommando' - the workers who removed the teeth, hair and nails from the corpses of the gas chambers before their cremation, The Meads take a quintessentially British look at the unimaginable inhumanity, surmising that outright negativity would not do justice to the victims perpetrated, thus a healthy dollop of humour thd spread throughout.
