Mortuus - De Contemplanda Morte

[MajestikMøøse]

Ok, so I've listened to this album a number of times before, but for some reason it just clicked like nobody's business.

It just went from 'This album is pretty good' to 'This album kicks fucking ass'



This album is amazing.

There's been something aout that album for me that doesn't click. It's very, very good but, for some reason, I never really have much of a desire to hear it.

Well Ive had this for eight months now, listened to it occassionally, but all of a sudden it makes sense.

I cant really say why though.

I haven't listened even close to enough to this album, but I will some day. I hereby make this post to let you all know that I'm a really kool kat since I know the fellas in this band and had beerz with one of them on Friday, and the other currently has my bass amp. Now you know!

 

[Ellestin]

so is that Gothenburg death metal or something?

This was the album I contemplated recommending after Walknut was already taken. Very solid album.

It was nearly the same for me. Bought it and listened to it a couple of times without it doing much to me, but then picked it up after a few months and was totally blown away. Now it's right there next to the very best BM releases of recent years.

This album has a very solemn atmosphere to it, and although it keeps to the Swedish BM (= Necromorbus) sound (I'm not sure if it's even recorded in that studio, but you get the picture), it's a breed of its own, IMO. I think one of the things that sets it above many other recent albums is the slower, more eerie passages it has. A very very recommendable album.
