Genre/Influences: Industrial, doom.
Background/Info:
Originally set up in 1990
Rigor Mortiss got their success in the early 90s. They finally split and came
back more than 20 years later seeing some of the core members joined by new
members. They released a new album called “Brud” in 2015 (Requiem Records) and
are now back again with a new opus.
Content:
“Wbrewny” stands for
industrial and bombast and that’s exactly the way they take off. The typical
heavy industrial guitar play has been joined by electronics and drums. Several
members are singing, which injects some diversity to the songs. “Wbrewny” is
not only into industrial music, but still covers cinematic parts and even a
somewhat ritual-driven track (cf. “Sorgens Stigar”). Another noticeable cut is
“Escape From The Flashback”, which sounds as the offspring between The Swans
and The Young Gods.
+ + + :
Rigor Mortiss always has
had a very personal approach and this is an old tradition they simply hold on.
It’s more than simply industrial music. I already mentioned “Sorgens Stigar”
which is more into a kind of ritual sphere and I like the deep-throated voices
running through this cut. It creates a hypnotic feeling. If you like bombast,
this album will definitely give you satisfaction.
– – – :
I noticed some
experimental passages running through a few cuts, which aren’t my favorite ones
from this album.
Conclusion:
Rigor Mortiss has a very
personal interpretation of ‘industrial’ music and that’s what this new opus is
reflecting.
Best songs:
“Sorgens Stigar”,
“Cormorant Island”, “Escape From The Flashback”, “Incantations”.
