Ordo (Rosarius) Equilibrio (Sweden)
"The Triumph ov Light..." CD 1997, Cold Meat Industry
13.00EUR • approx. 18.8USD [ temp. out of stock ] : [ pre-order ]
Dark Folk with S&M references.

A new leaf turns for Ordo Equilibrio; after "Reaping the Fallen", a release strongly based on fetishist/B&D imagery and ambiance, the Swedish duo take on a more relevantly anti-Christian stand. In general, the music itself is also rather different, although clearly identifiable as OE; the atmosphere is perhaps not as bleak, yet just as decadently beautiful and overall quite serene. The monotonous, cyclic nature that characterized the compositions present on their debut is enriched as the songs progress like a funeral march to doomsday to reach an epic and close to divine grandeur, further enhanced by the use of bells that add an ecclesiastical touch to several of the songs, despite their strong profane essence. Overall, these pieces sound hauntingly apocalyptic in their somewhat orchestral vibe and Chelsea's calm and relaxed declamations over them seems to dictate the very end of the world, apparently celebrated in the Folk-ish and clearly Death In June-influenced acoustic songs sung by Tomas in sad, melancholic, manner. Finally, there is yet another type of songs on the disc - the mysterious Dark Ambient creations that illustrate the very ending of existence in slow motion for your delight! - which are possibly also the ones which draw the closest parallels to material such as 'De Profundis' and 'In Nomine Dei...' present on "Reaping the Fallen..." and which are, simultaneously, also the gloomier ones on "...Shadows of Love". On a more romantic note though, 'Under the Rose...' brings whips, acoustic guitars and the vocals of both members into play resulting in a cross between DIJ and the style of 'Safe, Sane and Consensual', for instance! The end of the world might not be a pretty sight, but we can all count on a beautiful soundtrack courtesy of Ordo Equilibrio!
