Fear is always there - waiting like a black dog in the corner, looking at you with cold eyes. Fear is the cartilage on the roof of your mouth when you try to take a deep breath. Fear is used politically, instrumentalized and it is the source of all bad, because fear is the opposite of love. However, the album "The Horror" by Konstantin Gropper aka Get Well Soon shows that fear also produces good things. "The Horror" is a rebellious album, which, as he says himself, should "impose" something on his listeners. This "imposition" is reinforced by orchestral support, which carries the familiar voice of the singer into even more outlandish spheres than one is already used to from him. Live, no light morsels are served either. Lyrics that tell of Gropper's nightmares and personal fears become a performance resembling catharsis, in which not least his fear of the rise of right-wing extremism is dealt with. And yet: at the end, a look to the sky, with confidence that everything will be all right. And that's exactly how the last lines of the album show: "Join hands, In horror unite, Together let's dance, In darkest night".
