Reviews!

Hi everyone! We've received some amazing reviews over the last few weeks that we'd like to share with you!

Terrorizer magazine UK reviewd our album stating:

This is everything you could want from a debut album!

Music Maker Magazine NL said (Dutch):

De behoorlijk verrasende tempowisselingen en het instrumentale karakter van de songs zorgen ervoor dat Mannheim meer als een bastaardkind van postrockers als Mogwai en And So I Watch You From Afar en de Noorse blackjazz-sensatie Shining klinkt. Dat is bepaald niet erg, want de acht songs die in iets meer dan veertig minuten de revue passeren, kunnen zich bij vlagen meten met het betere werk van voorgenoemde bands

Prety in Noise from Germany wrote (German):

Wer sich als solches bezeichnet und mit Vorliebe Bands wie Melvins, Helmet oder Shellac hört und den minimalen Jazzeinfluss durch das Saxophon toleriert findet ein neues Lieblingswerk.

Their record is called Super-Empowered and it comes across as gaseous chemicals and molten copper hissing their way through the pipes. It is highly volatile and may leave a mark or two when it touches. But we all know; those scars only add character…

Dutch music outlet 3voor12 wrote (Dutch):

Met Super-Empowered geeft Mannheim een visitekaartje af waar je u tegen zegt. De band weet de luisteraar zonder moeite in zijn debuutplaat te zuigen om hem daar zonder genade alle kanten op te slingeren.

Good times and good reviews

Hey all, we had a blast last week playing shows at  the sound of science festival and Merleyn! We'd like to thank everyone who showed up. We met a lot of cool people who we hope to see again soon. A shout out goes out to there was a firefight who pulled of a great show! 3voor12 wrote a review of sound of science sharing some kind words about us (dutch):

Mannheim is de gasbrander die langzaam je bloed opwarmt tot een koortsige rivier. Een staaltje sublieme muziek die de aanwezigen ijlend van genot de zaal uit stuurt.
