Blut Aus Nord - MoRT

[General Zod]

I've had the promo for well over a month now. It is good. It's more atmospheric. He's basically trying to be more atmosheric now. His stuff with Sunn 0))) influenced him a little, but it is definitely still Xasthur.

Nate, am I wrong? Do the songs on the disc not sound eerily similar?

Actually, you're not alone. I'm not digging it at all and really do not find much to be unique song by song. A pretty monotonous listen (at least the first time around). Disappointed as I had high hopes for it.

I believe the album is supposed to be several parts of a single song. That explains some of it--but shit, there are tons of 5 minute songs with more variety than this thing, and the net of it is that it tends to all run together. They create a first class atmosphere, but this album is pretty one dimensional. I still don't think it's bad, but it is a let down after the last one.

 

[Thanatopsis123]

I agree there isn't a great amount of variety. It does sound like a 47 minute long song for the most part. Then again, there is some variation and it's a song I enjoy getting lost in for that 47 minutes.

I'll be buying this.

Blut Aus Nord didn't want to creat TWWTG again. So they did a total trip into a black hole on this new one. I agree that the variety is lacking. But look at it for what it is, not for what it isn't.

Probably good advice. If you go into this looking for a riff-fest, you'll be sadly disappointed. If you're looking for a soundtrack that oozes evil, this delivers.

I listened to this like 5 more times last night until I finally fell asleep to it and proceeded to have some cool nightmares.

Agree, and have no problem with that. Still, if this was the first time I'd heard this band I'd have the same complaint, although I'd probably voice it a little less loudly.

and a quick followup ... that was fast!

French extremists BLUT AUS NORD have posted the cover artwork for their new album, "Odinist", at this location. According to the group's record label, Candlelight Records, "this opus is considered by the band as a return to the feeling of their first creations. More epic, melodic and powerful!"

 

[Thanatopsis123]

Whether it's a continuation of their new sound or a return to their old, I'm happy either way.

 

[Nate The Great]

This is news to give me a boner.

 

[EricT]

So, I'm listening to Odinist right now, and they were right when they said it was a return to their older, more powerful. My opinion on the album is still pretty undecided. A good album? Yes. Anything more, I'm gonna have to listen to it quite a bit more to see.

 

[Agalloch]

Yeah it leaked. Thoughts to come.

 

[Thanatopsis123]

Anybody want a help a brotha' out and upload that shit?

I really like Odinist, nice to wake up to in the morning

MorT is more experimental and for late night hours
