press reviews
"With Medicine & Metaphors we have the first aspirant for the German Americana record 2009."
[Musikexpress]
"Perhaps Black Rust will become the same for the Americana, country and folk scene, as Get Well Soon have been for the indie scene since last year - the new poster child."
[melodie & rhythmus]
"Black Rust simply do many things better than the international competition. The result is one of the best Americana records in the last years."
[Gaesteliste.de]
"This folk-Americana record with a strong tendency towards pop could hardly be more sophisticated. Medicine & Metaphors is unbelievably well thought out for a debut, in all respects, on every level."
[alternativenation.de]
"Almost exclusively acoustically played Americana-folk of impressive class. The guys' music sounds significantly older than they actually are, however primarily accentuates the timeless character of skillful songwriting in the classical US-roots rock school from Gram Parsons to Tom Petty up to Ryan Adams."
[Glitterhouse]
"Even the two great overlords of country folkrock, Dylan and Young, would take off their hats, dusty from the desert, to Black Rust with full respect. Great, simply beautiful."
[Ultimo]
"An album, which gets along without technical gadgets, characterized by craftsmanship and a flair for perfect songwriting. Melancholic, pensive, emotional. 13 songs to love and be loved, which sometimes put a consoling arm on your shoulder and sometimes offer a shoulder to cry on, but never being dull of a moment."

"Medicine & Metaphors is quite a remarkable record between folk-rock, alternative country, indie-songwriting and state-of-the-art guitar pop".
[unclesally's]
"What differentiates Black Rust from all other bands: They don't want to sound cool and new and hip. They cloud their songs with dusty atmosphere, sound elegant and timeless at the same time."
[auftouren.de]
"A record, which offers a really successful and above all catchy mix of country, rock, folk and Americana. Not as an end in itself, as is so often heard with German music, when it comes to well-off high school student bands who like to emulate their veritable idols, but with a noticeable love for material, music and cultural heritage."
[Nillson]
"Medicine & Metaphors is certainly one of the most successful, beautiful and pensive albums from the recent annals of German music."
[Legacy]
"The quintet from Ahlen/Westphalia (Germany) has created a beautiful Americana, pub rock and folk album with the support of Robin Proper-Sheppard (Sophia)."
