| The debut full-length by this Swedish band, featuring members of Runemagick, Irkallian Oracle and The Funeral Orchestra. Salta´s music is multi-dimensional and dense, conjuring a deathlike atmosphere unmatched by the majority of their peers. Indeed, this album is more than Metal; the music is ceremonial and trancelike, an arcane death ritual in which unconventional elements are utilized in the service of creating a comprehensive sonic environment that is consuming and experiential. This is not meant to suggest that the album is devoid of riffs or structure. At its core, "Mors Salis: Opus I" is a highly composed and coordinated work of Doom/Death Metal, but Saltas do not reflexively hew to the line of tradition, preferring instead to explore the esoteric regions beyond. |
