Vond: Slipp sorgen Los
- Selvmord
- Nar livet tar Farvel
- Reisen til en ny verden
- Slipp sorgen Los
Following on the footsteps on another reissue, Mortiis has also repackaged,
redesigned, and even renamed the debut album of his side project Vond. Yet the
one thing I fail to understand is why this is actually a side project.
Musically speaking, Vond is practically a perfect replica of any Mortiis
release, and since it is composed by the same individual it might as well be
the same project. The only difference between the two projects is that Vond
seems to be even more mellow than Mortiis and for the most part lacks
percussion, instead relying more on strings and brass to build it's textures.
As with all of Mortiis' material, the music is very somber, and is a valiant
attempt to try to recreate a certain mood and historical experience by means of
music. In that sense this is a very beautiful yet abruptly disturbing piece of
work because of it's utterly desperate nature and black themes. Ultimately, the
music of Vond will appeal to those fans of Mortiis who would lock
themselves away from the world and experience the fantasies composed by this
Norweigian manic-depressive.
