Madder Morten is yet another Norwegian band
that was originally formed in 1993 under the name of Mystery Tribe. In 1999
they released their debut album "Mercury" on the British label Misanthropy
Records but since the label was closed shortly after the release the band
found themselves without a label. Century Media came in to rescue them and
here we see the first result of this new cooperation. Century Media has
impressed me a lot over the years with one great release after another but
this time I was actually a little disappointed. The vocals of Madder Martem
are almost solely female and very strong ones and musically they have a lot in
common with bands like Lacuna Coil and The Gathering but with a darker
atmosphere. I really don´t mind female vocalists, rather the contrary, but
Agnete Kirkevaag has got a very unconventional voice and chaotic way of
singing that I sometimes find a bit annoying. Perhaps I have been spoilt with
too many good releases in a short time but this album didn´t really make my
eyes pop out. It is however a pretty solid dark metal album with a somber
atmosphere and sporadically beautiful vocals but unfortunately it is a little
uneven. Agnete has in fact got a very strong and nice voice. Hopefully we will
see a Madder Mortem that continues to grow and develop in the near future. The
album was recorded at Studio Underground,
Sweden.
