RAUHBEIN

Rebellen & Helden

Reigning Phoenix Music

2026

 

RAUHBEIN are accelerating fast and showing no signs of slowing down. With their new album “Rebellen & Helden” (Rebels & Heroes), the high-octane outfit seamlessly continues the rapid rise they’ve built over the past few years.

 

Okay, call me crazy, but I couldn’t help but giggle while listening to the album. This isn’t me laughing at the musician or even the music. I think it’s because the vibe of the album is generally a happy one, granted I’m not fluent in German. The first several tracks made me think that this is the German Andrew WK.

 

I did have to google one of the words to understand that he was singing about loving is podunk town, and if you’ve ever lived in a podunk town, you’ll understand that particular pride. It isn’t until the end of the album that we get what I would consider a ballad. Leaving the album to come in as a lion and exit as a lamb.

 

Sometimes it’s hard to pick out a standout track. Especially when I have to go off vibes alone. But this album, genuinely, seems like a pub sitting, whiskey drinking, sing-along good time. I’ve already recommended the artist to one of my close friends. Safe bet says I really enjoyed the album.
