Can you sing and talk about war? Maxim Biller did on his first single ‘Die Kriegsreporterin’ from his new album ‘Studio’ in a melancholic but also shocking way. Now comes the second single release, and as the title ‘6:30’ already reveals, this time it's also about war - but above all about terror. Because on the morning of 7th of October 2023, at 6.30 a.m., Hamas terrorists crossed the border from Gaza into Israel and caused a bloodbath among Israeli children, babies, women, men and old people that the world still can't really imagine or picture.

Maxim Biller can - because he has the soul and the words for it. Without false sentimentality, but with great anger, he sings in his song about the grief, shock and astonishment that have prevailed among Jews and Israelis ever since. „Werde ich lachen, werde ich weinen, Tränen aus Stein“ (‘Will I laugh/I will cry/Tears of stone’). Anyone who writes poetry like this sings his way into the hearts of even the coldest misanthrope.
