Madder Mortem - Eight Ways

SKU CDVILEF246
Been a few years since this Norwegian band released an album. Although female fronted, they really have nothing to do with the gothic scene. Madder Mortem is an interesting band that create a more aggressive style of metal but they incorporate a lot of progressive elements. A bit unorthodox - perhaps a bit like Atrox. Agnete Kirkevaag vocal stylings seem to have roots in jazz and Norwegian folk which offers a nice contrast to the wall of guitar squall. These guys (and girl) have never been a run of the mill band and perhaps thats been a bit of a problem. They don't seem to generate a tremendous buzz and the reason might be that their music doesn't fit neatly into a stereotype. Good stuff!

This is pretty unconventional, ear-stretching stuff. The music has a manic, yet melodic quality to it while the vocals alternate between the serene and the bizarre. This one will take many listens to fully appreciate and I, for one, am willing to make that journey. Intense, unique and not for the average prog head. Leyth
