(Greger Rönnqvist - Through Different Eyes)

If you like dark progressive rock like Goblin, Museo Rosenbach, Landberk, Cathedral and Italian horror movies, this is really something for you. This is a true masterpiece in the progressive genre. It's also one of the best albums from the 90's. This is definitely, without competition, the best album put out in 1998. The music is all-instrumental and contains music from "City Of The Living Dead" "The Beyond" "Rosemary's Baby" "Beyond The Darkness" "Cannibal Holocaust" "Golden Girls" and two new songs: "Threats Of Stark Reality" and "Symphonic Holocaust", they are written by the four members of Morte Macabre. The first 500 copies are packed in a beautiful special paper sleeve. Two members of Anekdoten (Nicklas Berg & Peter Nordins) and two members of Landberk (Stefan Dimle & Reine Fiske), playing those legendary horror movie soundtracks.

" This is a musical collaboration with four of Sweden's best musicians in the progressive field. O pessoal do blog Stoned Guitar fez uma bacana apresentação (com direito a download, ca-laro) do disco: Sure, the production is pretty terrible, but that's not a problem, it's a feature! We want that raw swing, that grizzled groove, and those ear-shredding solos." That's a tough thing to do, droning while rocking, but MAMMATUS pull it off quite well, even throwing in some psychedelia for added effect. Seriously, this self-titled debut puts the band on the map with SLEEP and OM, droning on and on while rocking out at the same time. Normally upon hearing such a thing, I'd be skeptical, but hey, however MAMMATUS manages to come up with these killers is fine by me. And trust me, that's a good thing.Īpparently this record was mostly jammed out and then the band went back and added in bits and pieces until they had complete tunes. I said to myself, I did, "this is gonna sound like SLEEP!" And I was right. Released on Holy Mountain? Song titles about forests and dragons? And look at that cover art. " I knew right away what this one was going to sound like.
