What, Kärbholz again? Didn't Chapter 11: Barricades just come in, and now again? Who got it wrong?
A well calculated promo campaign or a mathematical total failure? In the house of Kärbholz, the creative spark seems to have started a conflagration with the first lockdown. Wait and see what time will bring, but do not waste it was the credo and so the band has not only composed material for a long player in the last year. No, songs for two full albums were created; all relevant and none that could have been parted with. The only way for Kärbholz: Double In, Double Out.
The songs written in one episode were split between the two albums before production started: Chapter 10 and Chapter 11. And exactly in this order the final recordings took place together with producers Alexander Dietz and Eike Freese. Week after week they lived and worked together. Chapter 10: WILDE AUGEN was finished - half time - and off to production.
It continued with chapter 11: Barricades and exactly the moment when everything should change...
During the final studio phase for what was actually the second album "Chapter 11: BARRIKADEN" this feeling spread... this feeling that everyone had, but no one dared:
This second album is actually the perfect FIRST album. These are actually the songs with which one wants and should step out of the silence, which simply imposed themselves for this.
Chapter 10: WILDE AUGEN is more rudimentary and boisterous. It is the naughty brother with the torn pants. But also the musical link between today and yesterday, it is perhaps most reminiscent of the album RASTLOS from 2009.

But what to do? Chapter 10: WILDE AUGEN was already produced. The vinyl was already on the table. And on it was written: CHAPTER TEN! Irrefutably and irreversibly. And no one here may be considered a mathematical prodigy, 10 comes BEFORE 11.

But how was it still a few years ago... "Always more heart than mind...".

So what the heck! You know chapter 11? Then get to know chapter 10, the WILD EYES. These eyes are hungry, want more and turn in circles... but in the end it doesn't matter... this little bit of mathematics.
