The Third And The Mortal is without a doubt one of the
strangest bands on the planet and they have changed a lot musically since
their first releases. Their first two efforts featured the wonderful vocals of
the equally beautiful Kari Rueslåtten but since then Ann-Mari Edvardsen
has been in charge of the oral pleasures. I can't really decide on whether I
like her voice better or not but she is still a very good vocalist to say the
least. A lot has happened since the band released their last album five years
ago and a lot of fans have feared that the band had finally been put to sleep
but this was apparently not the case. There are no traces of doom metal left
in their music of today but it is still embraced by a very strong atmosphere.
Their music of today is a lot more experimental than it was in the past and
electronics have been used to a vast extent to lay a surreal foundation for
the spoken words and clean male and female vocals. Sometimes the music reminds
of metal, sometimes of jazz and sometimes of surreal electronic music but
there is always a nice laid-back atmosphere in every song. This is a relaxing
album that still stirs the mind and I am very pleased to see that the band has
not come to a standstill in their evolution. This is weird but luckily in a
good way. Too bad it doesn't suit my taste very well though... The first half
of the album is good but then it sort of fades
out.
