Runes Order is an Italian dark ambient project formed by
Claudio Dondo in late 1988 and he has already released six albums under this
moniker. This is the seventh opus but the first on their new label
Beyond...Prod who have decided to pick them up. This album is inspired by the
cult movie "The House With Windows That Laugh" by Pupi Avati and the horror
movie atmosphere is evident from the first track. So are the industrial
influences that take lead from the very beginning. Most of the music is
completely instrumental but there are also some distorted vocals done by
Argento from Antropofagus / Spite Extreme Wing. A soothing keyboard line is in
the background of most songs in order to keep a solid soundwall, fronted by
twisted samples and electronic rhythms that should be able to cause some
frightened looks in the face of the listener. Italy is one of the strongest
nations in Europe right now when it comes to dark, ambient and industrial
music and Runes Order have conceived a very interesting and gripping release
with "The Art Of Scare And Sorrow". The reasons for Italy having so many
good bands within the genre is probably are probably several but I think one
very possible explanation is that the country has produced many famous horror
movie producers. The music of this album is almost perfect for a horror movie
soundtrack too. Recommended for fans of dark ambient
music.
