Ranzer - Leidkultur LP

With their new full-length album “Leidkultur” Ranzer has captured the raw energy of their live performances in a recorded format. Recorded in early 2024 over three cold and challenging days in their Kassel rehearsal room, the album was produced by their friend and sound technician Tommi G. The process was entirely live, with no triggers or click tracks as the band worked through repeated takes to find the right energy for each track. Ben Jones, who has worked with Meth Leppard, handled the mix and mastering, keeping the raw and unpolished spirit of the sessions intact.
The album artwork, created by Thomas “Necromaniac” Westphal, reflects the chaotic and intense feel of the music, inspired directly by the tracks and lyrics. “Leidkultur” features a mix of live-tested tracks and new material, offering a blend of Punk and Metal that feels honest and unfiltered. Fans of Hellhammer, Sodom, and Wolfbrigade may find something to connect with in Ranzers sound, which stays true to their DIY roots.
