Deadlands by Madder Mortem
Norway's MADDER MORTEM definitely belong among those artists who only seem truly comfortable with their creative achievements when they fully shatter stylistic barriers, escape from the ordinary in music and manage to keep the listener guessing what will come next, again and again. On the other hand, MADDER MORTEM are without hesitation a metal band first and foremost (far off from the typical Gothic posse), one that doesn't leave the songwriting falling apart for the sake of hopeless experimentation or overly-complex soundscapes.
MADDER MORTEM themselves proclaim the new material to be "heavier and gloomier, but perhaps less schizophrenic" than All Flesh Is Grass but then again, Deadlands is the sort of album that attempts to reach each listener on a very personal level. An album meant to hypnotize the senses of all who could not relate to the band's earlier audio performances, Deadlands should also find its way to a whole new range of listeners who dare to envelop themselves within something truly extraordinary.
