How did I find out about these guys? I have been on good working relationship with a management company called The Syndicate. To make a long story short(er), the group sent me a copy of their latest album "Goldkinder" to check out as I was inquiring about other artists and photo passes. Now I'm not going to lie, it didn't sink in to it's full extent after the first couple of listens. The first track off the album has been serving as their single as well. Check out "Alles Was Ich Will" below:
Originally started as a duo, WBTBWB has taken a dramatic turn from their original sound. With their new release of "Goldkinder" had the group veering towards a more dark and synth metal act, similar to metal titans Rammstein. A protege? One might think so.
"Goldkinder" is the band's third full length album and their first one without support from record label Redfield Records. From the looks of their album promotion and reception, it seems the break away from the label did not phase them, maybe more fuel to the first to succeed in a constant uphill battle such is the music industry. "Goldkinder" was released on August 13th, 2013 via Visble Noise/Relativity Media.

Mixing of "Goldkinder" was done by Stefan Glaumann, who has done previous work with Rammstein, Within Temptation, Sarah Brightman, Therion, and more. It only makes sense that I got the Rammstein vibe from the group as I continued to listen to the drum tracks! On the other side of the studio jobs, mastering was done by Svante Forsbäck, who has also done previous work with Lordi, Apocalyptica, Sonata Arctica, and many more. Album artwork was done by Andrea Schindler.
"I’ve always loved the WBTBWB equation: sick vocals + German-language lyrics + experimental structures + silliness. That’ll keep your tongue wet, even when it’s been parched by all other jams. But from the look of its first three songs, we see that the self-produced Goldkinder will shit extensively on WBTBWB’s past; they now sound like a different band." -Metal Sucks
The album kicks off very strong with some of their first tracks showcase their diversity and not required to throw a breakdown every thirty seconds. Tracks such as "Alles Was Ich Will", "Meine Brille", and "Ohne Herz" (favourite part of the entire album at the 2:00 minute mark) do the band justice by showing off their melody and synth side of their music, while leaving other tracks like "Pyroman & Astronaut", and "Viva Mariposa" bring the harder side of the band with open chords and guttural vocals.
"We Butter the Bread with Butter has still got the talent and style the future of music needs!! AMAZING album. I've gotta admit that lately all my favorite musicians have been pumping out generic unenthusiastic music lately and so i wasn't too excited about this album. After listening to the first couple songs though, i knew this was going to be a great ride from beginning to end. This is what all you've metal heads have been waiting for. Perfect blend of Electronic and Metal and the fun never seems to stop, always something exciting and holds you in for every song. My only wish was that there was an English version, but maybe it helps to not be able to understand what the singer is saying, sounds like more music to my ears!. Grade A album, more artists should make music with this much enthusiasm!" -Estevan H. (Amazon)
Overall, I feel that [despite the name] the band has something good going here and with a few more tours and solid albums under their belt, I could see them taking the reigns of German metal. Could we see a Rammstein/WBTBWB tour is in the works eventually? This guy likes to be hopeful.
