Chinchilla continues the amusing traditio… Read Full Bio ↴1) German power metal band
Chinchilla continues the amusing tradition of oddly-named German power metal bands (imagine trying to promote a tour consisting of Chinchilla, Squealer, and Custard in America). Their early history is a bit murky — they formed in 1988 and by 1990 had recorded an album, No Mercy, of which not a lot is known (it’s not even listed on the official site’s discography), and after guitarist Udo Gerstenmeyer left the band, they folded soon afterwards. Four years later, Gerstenmeyer recruited a completely different lineup and recorded what initially was a demo, but turned into the Who Is Who EP. More lineup changes ensued, and finally the band had some stable footing, releasing Horrorscope in 1998 before signing with Metal Blade in 2000. The 2000 release, Madness, is the album reviewed here. Not surprisingly, Chinchilla’s style is rooted in Euro power metal 80’s-style. They don’t have the galloping pace of a Gamma Ray, but are more of a mid-paced melodic power metal band, maybe not too far removed from Iron Savior or Sinner. Overall, Madness is a competent album. It’s not going to set the world alight nor impress anyone with originality, but the staples of the genre (singalong choruses, simple but nicely constructed riffs, a power ballad or two, and so forth) are here for the listening, with the interesting cover choice of Kiss’ “I Stole Your Love” (staying relatively faithful to the original) thrown in for good measure.
After two releases in 2000 and 2002 with the same members, the the lineup change bug has bitten again, with three new members joining the band in 2002, eventually releasing Madtropolis a year later. They still aren’t interested in innovation (writing a song called “Heavy Metal” in 2003 seems a bit behind the times, particularly given its Manowar-ish anthemic chorus), but no doubt European audiences will like this.

The Call
Chinchilla Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
WeÂ're lost our time for stupid policy
The nature is the rule not money is the future
The mad leaders lying the fools telling the truth
Oh no
The nations of this planet are lesded by a secret society
Oh no
The gun on our head
The demons we call
They never leave the hall
With thirteen holy wise man
They never lost a war
The demons we call
They never leave the hall
The thirteen glorious judges
Are the leaders of the world
Behind higher walls there are sitting thirteen liars
TheyÂ're blinding our mind and steal us the truth
To fight against those spirit they tell us "YouÂ're a liar"
No one had seen them or listened to those ghosts
Oh no
The nations of this planet are leaded by a secret society
And working in the name of the madmanÂ's sign
Oh no
No place and no time to run
In Chinchilla's song "The Call," the lyrics speak to the corruption and deception that exists within leadership on a global scale. The song implies that the people in power are not acting in the best interests of the general public, but instead, are serving a secret society in the name of a "madman's sign." The use of the phrase "Oh no" throughout the song suggests a sense of urgency and desperation from the singer who is looking for a way to escape from the corrupt power that is pressing down on them.
The song "The Call" seems to advocate for the return to nature, where values are not defined by money but by the natural order of the world. This can be seen in the lyric "The nature is the rule, not money is the future." Due to this, it can be suggested that a return to nature can bring authentic leadership and can be a way out of the situation in which they find themselves. The lyrics also suggest that the corruption of leadership is a global problem, making it difficult for anyone to escape, with no place and no time to run.
In conclusion, "The Call" is a warning against the abuse of power and corrupt leadership that brings destruction and chaos to the world. It promotes the need for authenticity in leadership and the return to nature for the betterment of society.
