Mord - Necrosodomic Abyss
Osmose Productions - Out Now
By Daniel Fisher
Mord were founded in 1999 by Nordra who recorded their first release of black metal pestilence as a one man band in 2001. Travel forward to 2008 and their latest offering, Necrosodomic Abyss, lands or slithers perhaps into my lap. I would first like to enquire what a Necrosodomic Abyss is, exactly. I can understand if it was a typo and they meant Necrosodomic Abscess. As, um, you know, when youre sodomising the dead, you might cut yourself and it might get infected. Yeah.
Anyway, this is a well produced and well performed piece of black metal spite, as unrelenting as your mother in law and as caustic as her breath. It is a very confrontational album and, on the whole, it works. The drumming is frankly amazing and the songs are well constructed and have enough to draw a listener in.
My main criticism is that it is very genre specific and does little to move black metal any further forward. As good as Mord are, I can think of loads of other BM bands that are better for one reason or another. They simply dont have anything that makes them stand out above the rest.
