WE BUTTER THE BREAD WITH BUTTER is the musical duo from Lübben in the East of Germany, which has focused on the highly idiosyncratic dubbing and covering of children's well-known songs. Blast-Beat attacks from the drums scrap the lovely melody of "Backe backe Kuchen", buried under tons of sludge-heavy riffs and driving the song with full force and dark growls against the wall. At the end, the audience is stunned before the ruins, alienated and wondering what evil the two gentlemen of WE BUTTER THE BREAD WITH BUTTER must have encountered in their childhood. Luckily, with the recent release of Das Monster aus dem Schrank in the US (available at Hot Topic stores across the nation), UberProAudio had a chance to sit down and talk with Tobias Schultka, vocalist and half the brains of WBTBWB about the latest album, gear, and more.
