Mutilation (Live)
This
is the first recording by Mondblut
I’ve encountered, unfortunately I’ve lived a very sheltered
life you know, so have no idea if "Scorn" is typical of the
music by this artist or if this is a new direction by him. The recording
itself deals with fantasies about auto-erotic death from suffocation and
other sexual preferences. Nice. Whatever turns you on I suppose. Best
ask your local Conservative MP if you want more information on that subject.
"Scorn" is a pleasing mix of semi ritual style music with an
ominous slant and vague EBM touches. Think of Apoptygma Berzerk in league
with the Satan and you’re nearly there. Maybe. I get thrown by recordings
that have actual tunes in them. This is the sort of music that will have
you tapping your feet and nodding your head as you read the lyrics on
the cd insert. Highly infectious and quietly disturbing in a subliminal
way. The very dark undertones seep slowly into the conscious taking you
completely by surprise. Light & dark. The perfect combination for
a strangely beguiling recording. Give it a go. You’ll be pleasantly
surprised, as I was.
