MADDER MORTEM - EIGHT WAYS (2009)

Hand in hand with Peaceville Records is published this new work Norwegian band practiced an interesting combination of dark and progressive influences. This is Madder Mortem and a new album entitled "Eight Ways", after Previous "Desiderata" in 2006. The truth is that the band has been active since 1993 when it began under the name Mystery Tribe, and have since evolved to the instrumental and compositional maturity that this work is now at hand.

It often leads to problems when it comes to label the sound of many new bands as in the times, it is usual to combine many influences that can sometimes go from one extreme to another. Madder Mortem are no novice at this, but their sound is the most innovative and cutting edge, more for the understanding of music through the use of technology. Just as their songs are a perfect travel landscape imaginary no longer hide beauty and mystery in equal measure. Thus as soon as you are surrounded by placid and bright atmosphere as you descend into a hell cold and hostile. A good mix of tunes with a modern metal and dynamic that develops in a very original.

Yet I would say that the key to this record is the mystery and darkness, because that is what they convey their subjects from first to last, despite the diversity of hues in them. And is that the issues are very elaborate, while stressing the instrumental work on the vocal. This despite the fact that the female voice is not the usual sweet or operatic voice that could be attributed a dark and Gothic group. Rather it is a dynamic voice that plays perfectly the issues giving the right dimension both in the most delicate and the most intense.

In the twelve tracks that make up the "Eight Ways" there are many special moments that will blow your imagination, is actually a job where you constantly rediscovering each topic and its nuances. An album of strange atmospheres, some friendly and other disturbing, which are a great gift for any fan of dark tinted Progressive sounds. The great cover is a good example of this waste of imagination and peculiarity Avant Garde.
