*Archimedes Waffen* is the second and final album by the German band Dunst, originally released in 2011. The band from Templin split up shortly after the release, but the album was later reissued on vinyl by Electric Magic Records, who felt the work was too valuable to go unnoticed. The album draws on the genres of stoner, psychedelic rock, space rock and krautrock. The music is largely instrumental and is characterised by hypnotic, ethereal sounds reminiscent of the vintage sounds of the 1960s and 1970s. The band, comprising guitarist Daniel Rexhausen, bassist Johannes Schulz, drummer Philip Marschall and effects engineer Sebastian Adolph, creates a sound that feels both free and structured. The album was recorded by Richard Behrens of Samsara Blues Experiment at Big Snuff Studio in Berlin. The music has a fluid, well-rehearsed quality, with guitar, bass, drums and synthesisers blending into a compelling whole. There are similarities with bands such as Colour Haze, My Sleeping Karma and Causa Sui. The vinyl version features six expansive tracks that take the listener on a psychedelic journey. The album demands attention and patience, with a constant tension between a sense of freedom and focus. For fans of stoner and psychedelic rock with krautrock influences, *Archimedes Waffen* offers an intense and rewarding listening experience.
