Götter auf Abruf is the fourth LP released by the German alternative rock band Letzte Instanz.
Overview
As one of the most stylistically diverse albums of all time, Götter auf Abruf follows Letzte Instanz's trend of releasing virtually unclassifiable music. After the introduction of a new guitarist (Das O), a new bassist (FX), and a new drummer (Specki T.D.), the band departed from the Darkwave style of Kalter Glanz (which itself had dramatically shifted from the Mittelalter-Rock of their debut album, Brachialromantik) to a heavier sound, much closer to progressive metal than any of their previous albums.
Yet classifying Götter Auf Abruf as a metal album would be grossly inacurate, as the album contains tracks that draw upon numerous influences. Metal is, indeed, the overwhelming element in "Salve Te" and "Bittere Nacht," and traces of metal present themselves in almost every track; however, songs such as "Showtime," "Position im Kosmos" and "Der Letzte Schrei" lean more toward rapcore reminiscent of early Linkin Park and Limp Bizkit, and others tend to resemble a heavier version of Herbert Grönemeyer. Though slightly toned-down, the string-stylings which originally defined the band are still highly prevalent on the album, giving it a unique sound that no other band has accomplished.
Though the album's title, Götter auf Abruf (which means 'Gods on Call'), and the Roman divinities depicted in its covert art would suggest a concept album, few of its songs follow a common theme, and almost none focuses on religion or mythology.
