I am puzzled.<\/p>\n

The only release I know by former Emperor bassist Mortiis is \u2018The Stargate\u2019 from 1999. I love it. Atmospheric, ambient soundscapes, oozing of medieval darkness and mystery. Fascinating stuff.<\/p>\n

Yet, I for some reason never felt an urge to listen to his other releases. Don\u2019t ask why, just didn\u2019t.<\/p>\n

But now that this new release landed in the Power Of Metal.dk inbox, I thought \u2018why not?\u2019. I could use some of that dark, mostly instrumental music.<\/p>\n

I am rarely surprised when it comes to music, but this certainly was something I hadn\u2019t seen coming. Mortiis, it would seem, have made a time travel from medieval darkness to the 1990s!<\/p>\n

Sound and style is more or less something taken out of Ministry\u2019s, and perhaps White Zombie\u2019s, remit, fused with\u2026I don\u2019t know\u2026dance music and Brit pop. This is music for the alternative club scene. It\u2019s hard and pumped, yes, but it\u2019s really dance music. I\u2019m not really the audience.<\/p>\n

Some of\u00a0the music certainly\u00a0kick starts the dance muscles (however little they are developed in yours truly), but the whole thing lands in a territory where it\u2019s not quite as hard as Ministry used to be around \u2018Psalm 69\u2019, the point in time\u00a0where they really struck a nerve, and it\u2019s on the other hand not catchy enough to be accepted as purely pop. Eventually, it becomes too much of the same.<\/p>\n

The strongest tracks are in my humble opinion Bleed Like You and Feed the Greed. Try them out if you\u2019re in a dance mood.<\/p>\n
