Ever since he left the Norwegian black metal act Emperor in
their early days Mortiis has been one of the leading acts on the darkwave
scene and he has released lots of albums under different names. The most
prominent of his projects is simply entitled Mortiis and yet again he has been
able to compose a new great piece of dark musical art. This is purely
electronic music that is very similar to modern Samael but with a lot more
techno influences than black metal. What I like most about the British Earache
Records is that they are not as narrow-minded as most other labels are when
signing new bands. Mortiis would never have had a place at a label like
Nuclear Blast or Century Media, at least not as they are working now. However
I'm glad that every label is not working the same way because there is only
one Mortiis in the world and that is enough for me because he is doing a great
job. His lyrics may be out of this world but he is still the No 1 darkwave
artist at the moment and with the help of the beautiful voice of Sarah Jezebel
Devah yet another great album has been conceived. This is only for the
open-minded but it is for you that I am writing this zine. I would have loved
for this album to be more powerful and symphonic but Mortiis is the
boss...
