The neofolk and
martial industrial music group Ordo Rosarius Equilibrio from Stockholm, Sweden
released the 4 track EP "Ménage À Quatre" in July on CD and
vinyl 12", as an appetizer for their new full-length album "Let’s
Play" which is meant to be released in September. Once again, the band
have gained their inspiration from “the place where Life and Death come
together, where the fire of sensualism rises to the skies, where the orgy of the
unregretted sin becomes the celebration of doom”.
The EP has 4
epic sounding tracks, where sensuality and heavenly melancholia become one. The
opening track "Ménage À Trois (There Is Nothing To Regret)" first
appeared when we witnessed the official video director by Vladimir Epifantsev. An
impressive video with adult content that portrays ORE’s visual and lyrical
content perfectly. This bombastic song, with its slow pondering drums, calm
acoustic guitar, elevating chorus and danceable rhythm, is yet another
characteristic example of their songwriting. Continuing in the same vein as their
previous work.
With "Believe
In Me (We Are One)" and "Kiss Me Now (And I'll Be Silent Just 4 You)"
that follow, Tomas Pettersson’s vocals are once again mesmerizing. His
storytelling style has a hypnotic effect backed by martial rhythms and
neoclassical orchestration. The last song, the darker "All Our Scissor
Sisters", is another wonderful track that first appeared on the
compilation "Ashes Ov Angels" released in 2017.
