While being aware that this is a quite specific and narrow taste, I thought these guys delivered some raging masculine metal shouting in a good way. Rather like Quake/Doom shoot'em-ups appeal to universal male needs, hearing nicely muciscal demonic metal shouting also has this embarassingly good power. I don't condone it or demand that it is so, I just note that it is so by some power of the universe. Roar forth, Mortad creature homunculi!
Little bit derivitive, not my usual music, but they were nice songs to hear. I kind of liked the guy's crazy demon Metal Voice but I guess that may be because I don't normally hear such madness. Maybe the lady singer should have something a bit more unbalanced going on, given the music is smashing its way through the house with its elbows.
High quality ear pleasing, daring and concentrated on its manifesto.
I first listened to this some months ago and it did not strike me full on. But it quirked in my mind and I intended to come back to it. Now I did listen again I found it matured and worthy (the maturation having happened only to me I guess). The music has the essense of Frenchness about it in an unforced and unfaked way. It's like Isabelle Adjani on a good day, it just is and it is very fine.
Nicely together sound with tunes that go somewhere. Tunes work, rocking action works, singer lady works... very good. Listened to Mepris several times and bought the album.
Came in search of hot vulcan chick on album cover, found late 1990s English sounds on holiday to Majorca.
Something can be done with the mixing action, the vocalist is smeared into the background somehow.
Sorry to the artist for such a low mark :-(
Guys in the band use their powers to create a genuine, unfaked sound that is definitely not hard to listen to. Does not demand too much of the listener and is the sound you would welcome to hear again.
What would make all the difference though is a chanteuse in there.
Yep this stuff HAS IT. No idea what 'IT' is, but it is wearing sunglasses and is familiar with Huggy Bear. Instead of dribbling into bad melody this deceptively 'trivial' stuff keeps its toes out the the water and by unexpectedly delivering a closure modestly smacks you in the face with its kid gloves and challenges you to a duel each time you think it has gone off one some unrepairable melodic tangent.
Skill!
