GENRE..... Industrial, Martial, Folk
LABEL...... Neuropa Records
MODE....... VBRkbps / Joint-Stereo
REL.DATE.. 04-03-2008

In a nice grey digipack and limited to 1000 copies comes this collaboration between Arditi
and Toroidh. Both projects are quite well-known in the martial/neo-classical genre. Arditi
being a side project of Puissance (which is I believe more popular and/or famous in the
black metal scene than it is in the martial/neofolk scene, perhaps because the men involved
look(ed) very `true`). Anyway, I can really appreciate Puissance's music, I also like Europe
is dead by Toroidh, and I didnÆt know Arditi yet.

Powerful clean drums in the first track. Maybe a bit too clean and loud, but as the track
progresses it turns out to be a good listen. Furthermore, as the albums progresses, lots of
(dark) atmosphere, samples, speeches, orchestral strings; bombastic music for sure.

Some tracks remind a bit of Swedish Sophia, other tracks sound quite like Toroidh's albums
or the older Blutharsch stuff. Track 8 is somewhat of a surprise, with acoustic guitars and
thus resembling Toroidh's own albums and, of course, Ordo R. Equilibrio. After a while this
track nicely turns in an old military tune.

The music is not original or something new, but it's done in a professional way and has a
nice dark and oppressing atmosphere. And there are enough old martial samples present to
enrich the thick and dark orchestral sound, making it just a bit more varied. People who
like the names mentioned above cannot go wrong with this one!
