analogROCK On God´s Great Dust Storm
The website analogROCK writes about the song God´s Great Dust Storm:
“The power that lies behind this piece of music doesn’t stop there. If, like me, you struggle to grasp the story through Katzenjammer’s poetic lyrics, you can still feel the haunting story through the pain, suffering and the begging of forgiveness that pours through the tones of the band’s harmonies. When I listen to it my mind paints a picture of someone being whipped up by a whirl wind of spirits as they are tortured with unimaginable pain for the sins they have committed before being eventually cleansed and forgiven. Yeah I know, that seems incredibly deep from a single piece of music and even I’m shocked at where it took my imagination but that’s what this song can do. It is more than just a track to pass time whilst you sit and stare at lolcats on Facebook. This is music that opens the door to your imagination and shows you a world that existed way before the lazy days of fancy smartphones and stupid memes.”
