Mourmansk 150 - La Guerre, l'Anarchie et le Chaos

The latest album from these french terrorists, released by Nil by Mouth label. The band which cannot be fitted into monosematic limits of one style during their lifetime, had found optimal sound which reveals spreading of their terroristic ideas best. 50 copies of "La Guerre, l'Anarchie et le Chaos" comes in "special edition" together with t-shirt, military bag and the CD with booklet including all the french and english lyrics. Album begins with a short text in a song called "La Guerre" and ends with a song, inspired by french writer Antonin Artaud - "L'Anarchie Et le Chaos". The name of the CD is formed. The whole of the album, which lasts for over 50 minutes associates to me with powerful, slow, but invincible and unstoppable destruction machine of war. L'Heure de Bombardier and The Vermin Vomb is like a springboard towards the upcoming album. Some synthetic sounds with noises and voices while "des Chienes" (words by french singer and composer Leo Ferre) strikes with very pleasant to listeners' ears low frequencies and goes towards the more or less traditional sound of power electronics. Machine of terror started and now - up till the end of the album, with a few inserts of songs that lasts to half a minute - continues thoughtful, gradual and constructive destruction. It's a pity that without knowledge of french, lyrics and inserts does not say much (L'Honneur can be understood as honor, Guerre Totale - Total War etc.) I don't see the point of describing every single song, you can download a few for free from Nil by Mouth or the page of the band, but I must warn that these few songs won't reveal the full idea of the album. It must be listened from the very beginning to the very end. By the way, the use of vocal is also the point which gives rather peculiar sounding. Sometimes it goes in a few layers and most of the time it's not just "screaming through distortion", but rather a calm, in different songs, differently effected talk. The sound of French gives much too. The fall of western world is stated and executed in this album. By war, by anarchy, by chaos. Album highly worth attention.
