Satyriasis - Somewhere Between Equilibrium And Nihilism [with Spiritual Front] The hottest summer release is finally here! The sound of world demoralization presented in a stylish digipak with 12-pages booklet; as Italy’s most enigmatic band, Spiritual Front, join forces with the leg-fetishists from Sweden, Ordo Rosarius Equilibrio. The idea of this collaboration was conceived already in year 2003; and now, after considerable anticipation, this most incredible little creature has finally been born to seduce and deprave a whole world with promises of salvation through nihilism and sexual depravity; all accompanied by some of the most wonderful tunes of apocalyptic-neo-suicidal-pop-folk. Spiritual Front, well known from Hauruck, OEC releases, as well as through numerous live shows and the nihilistic front figure Simone "Hellvis" Salvatori. Ordo Rosarius Equilibrio, world famous and highly respected from their 6-albums and numerous of live-shows, and with a great amount of followers |
Apocalips We are certainly living in apocalyptic times, there is finality in the air, the world seemingly heading toward ever more upheavals of epic proportions – and what soundtrack could be more fitting to these times of ours than the new Ordo Rosarius Equilibrio album Apocalips? Ordo Rosarius Equilibrio continue their march amongst seeming polarities - of creation and destruction, of dark and light, of joy and sorrow, of sex and war- toward the Coniunctio Oppositorum, the conjunction of opposites. Their seventh full-length album thus far, the eagerly awaited Apocalips, true to the ethos of The Order of Roses and Balance, is an opus of decadent beauty, of shining darkness, of fierce eroticism, of dreams, of blood, sperm and fire. Despite these familiar themes, Apocalips is also more grippingly personal and melancholic than previous records - perhaps reflecting the personal apocalypses of its creator, Tomas Pettersson. Having refined their sound to yet again new levels of clarity and completeness, Ordo Rosarius Equilibrio continue in their tradition of sound, the instruments ranging from drifting acoustic guitars, piercing percussions, lush pianos and strings to the fittingly decadent samples (including the ever-present Saloon Kitty) and above all the deep voice of Tomas Pettersson, delivering his poetic diatribes and evocations via spoken word, and even more than on previous works, via singing. The tracks on Apocalips range from the ferocious and yet tender "Do Murder & Lust Make Me a Man" to the tribally industrial and aggressive rhythmic soundscapes of "Hear the Sound of a Black Flame Rising"; from ”My Venus in Furs”, inspired by the old Velvet Underground S&M; classic, to the ending track ”Who Stole the Sun from its Place in My Heart?”, which is possibly the most beautiful (and most sad) Ordo Rosarius Equilibrio song thus far. So whether you are experiencing downfall on a personal level or in the grander scheme of things, Apocalips is a suitably bitter-sweet music to accompany the end-times, laying kisses and rose petals on the path toward the inevitable. Comes in a deluxe foilprinted digipak with 32-pages booklet and a CD with the fragrance of rose! |
