Simply titled
III, the third solo album by ex-
Böhse Onkelz leader Stephan Weidner (aka
Der W) sounds heavier and rawer than its predecessor, 2010's
Autonomie!, eschewing that record's more experimental leanings and focusing on a straight rock/metal sound. The record, which features the single "Mordballaden," entered the German charts at number two and is also available as a deluxe edition with a bonus DVD. ~ Christian Genzel
