Mortiis – Spirit Of Rebellion (2020)

November 18, 2020

This was an interesting listen. I’m just going to throw it out there now so its out of the way: I absolutely prefer the original versions. Now I can get to the music recorded for this album without constantly harking back.

There are two new ingredients here – pomp and percussion. LOL. Some of these previously dreamy compositions are now bombastic stompers, with marching drums and fuller instrumentation. Honestly though, Spirit Of Rebellion sounds absolutely fucking massive, so the third new ingredient is surely competent mastering. A refreshing listen.
