With 'Don’t Become the Thing You Hated', German electronic music visionaries ROTERSAND return with an album that is as much a cultural critique as it is a musical statement. In a world increasingly defined by division, alienation, and existential anxiety, the band casts a sharp eye on the psychological toll of our times — and issues a warning. The message is clear: in fighting what we oppose, we risk becoming it ourselves.
Musically, the album is a masterclass in synthesis—melding sonic sophistication with visceral emotional impact. ROTERSAND navigate seamlessly between intricate sound design and tightly constructed rhythmic frameworks, layering these with melodic hooks that are as intellectually engaging as they are dancefloor-ready. The album’s soundscape is dark yet resolutely hopeful, exploring a dynamic spectrum of styles—from propulsive electro with surgically crisp beats and brooding industrial textures to anthemic, almost dreamlike interludes. Each track reveals itself as a meticulously crafted entity, constantly surprising the listener without ever straying from its emotional nucleus.
Lyrically, the band addresses themes of disillusionment, anger, and the fragile line between resistance and complicity. The title itself functions as a thesis statement, confronting listeners with a central dilemma of our era: how do we oppose injustice without replicating its methods or mindset? ROTERSAND offer no easy answers, but instead encourage a kind of inner vigilance — a conscious rejection of the very forces that threaten to erode empathy, nuance, and individual integrity.
What sets this album apart is its rare ability to operate on multiple levels. It’s a compelling club record, yes — but also a philosophical commentary on the state of the world and the psyche. ROTERSAND have crafted a work that challenges the listener to not only hear, but to think and feel more deeply. With 'Don’t Become the Thing You Hated', they reaffirm their position as one of the genre’s most thoughtful and forward-looking acts.
