REVIEW: Thee Maldoror Kollective - New Era Viral Order Code666, 2002
8/10
Thee Maldoror Kollective - New Era Viral Order - cover art Code666 have yet again presented the world with a new musical entity that has developed a completely unique sound. Thee Maldoror Kollective was formed as early as 1991 and have previously gone under the names Inquisitor, Funeral Fog and simply Maldoror. This is something out out the ordinary and one of the most interesting releases that have come out of the Italian metal scene so far this year. I am unfamiliar with the earlier material from Maldoror (pardon me for shortening their name...) but "New Era Viral Order" is a wonderful album that fuses together elements from modern black / death metal with ambient and ritual sounds from the Cold Meat Industry bands. The result is a dark industrial techno version of Satyricon. Occult, harsh metal at its best with aggressive vocals, effective sampling, crushing riffs and a very powerful drum machine which has been programmed with skill for once. Thee Maldoror Kollective is now one of the leading bands on the Italian extreme metal scene and if you are out there looking for something avantgarde and unique you should definitely check this out. Innovative, outstanding, futuristic, postmodern black metal composed by some very talented minds.
