"We sing the praise of war. Not for
the way it makes people die, but for the way it makes people come alive."
The highly anticipated new album by the Swedish duo is finally upon
us, under the title "Omne Ensis Impera". The sense
of determination that echoes through their music and which has brought
them to the forefront of Martial / Industrial Neo-Classical scene has
stayed untouched, evoking the sense of duty and commitment that Italy's
WWI elite storm troops, from which the name Arditi originated,
were known for.
"Omne Ensis Impera" introduces an additional strength
to Arditi's compositions - epic orchestral loops and thunderous
percussions are granted a more prominent role, stirring the damp and
suffocating ambiance that the duo have always produced so well with
their use of ominous synths, obscure speeches and mesmerizing narrations.
Similarly, shades of the Italian Futuristic movement of the early XXth
century, which served as inspiration in the early days of the project,
remain imprinted in Arditi's work - "Omne Ensis Impera"
could well be a modern interpretation of the Futurist's goal of glorifying
warfare to an artistic expression beyond its inherent violence and intrinsic
sense of heroism.
"Omne Ensis Impera" has been mastered by Kamrat Nordvargr
of Mz.412 and Toroidh, an old ally of the band. Nordvargr
has also contributed with additional arrangements on a couple of tracks,
and prepared a slightly modified track list, which will feature on the
vinyl version of the album that will follow soon, together with a limited
edition box set. The CD version is presented in a deluxe glossy Digipak,
with embossed artwork.

In the year 1999, while mankind sat unnaware
of their fate and wondering if the moon would drift away into the far
reaches of space as the XXth century came to an end, Puissance
would reappear, clad in shining armour.
With the Industrial rust of early days properly polished, the Swedish
duo would further explore their talent for graceful arrangements set
to Militaristic Neo-Classical music. Following the overtly confrontational
offerings of "Let Us Lead" and "Back In Control", Puissance
were now set to resurrect the ghosts of Cold War and the obsession with
all things thermonuclear that haunted the planet - the Mother of Disease,
as they would call it - over that period. Brooding hymns to suicidal
heroism, devotional praises to a new god that would finally bring closure
to the human race, the screeching of metal twisting and melting - all
of this would find its place in Puissance's own beautiful vision
of the impending apocalypse, that they so ingeniously depict on "Mother
of Disease".
"Mother of Disease" is the third full length album produced by
Puissance, and also their third re-issue on Equilibrium Music,
following the early "Let Us Lead" and "Back In Control"
releases, and last year's new album, "Grace of God". Much like
it's predecessors on this fine collection, it has been re-mastered and
enhanced with one bonus track, presented in a matte-blue deluxe digipak
edition.
