Sihou I experienced amazing sensations while listening to this excellent album.
My experienced feelings reminded me of the first and second QFG compilation cds and Spherical Disrupted albums in the zero years.

about

"Mortar Devotions" is the new collaboration between Nona Et Decima (Manuele Frau, Nicholas Pucciarelli) and Aleksei Tsernjavski alias Огни. From the Finnish capital, Helsinki, the trio gives life to "Operazione Piovra: The Lead Chronicles", a work inspired by the darkest pages of Italian history, in particular the "years of lead" and the war between the mafia and government. The five tracks are conceived as if they were the soundtrack, divided into parts, of a film or a television series dedicated to the delicate theme previously highlighted. Tension, claustrophobia, mystery. A dirty, vintage, demolished sound coming from the speakers of an old cathode tube television or a cheap radio with only one broken speaker.

Mortar Devotion's music is solidly rooted in the industrial and noise scenes, taking inspiration from artists like Vatican Shadow, and Muslimgauze. But thanks to an extremely cinematic approach derived from their love of Italian soundtracks composers like Morricone, Frizzi, and the progressive band Goblin, they have created an extraordinarily original sound, which could be called: "Industrial Moving Pictures".

Amazing and hypnotic sounds derived from strange sources transports the listener from the more familiar terrestrial abodes into deep and distant locales beyond the realms of imagination. Words don’t do this astounding compilation justice so please, use the appropriate headphones/speakers for proper delivery of sound and sit back, close your eyes and allow the corporeal frame to surrender as the astral body leaves its prison-like confines for a journey beyond dimensions indescribable.

Such a wonderful, lovingly compiled album. I started buying and listening music in a time that only a few magazines provided info about mainly western music.This is such an cultural enrichment and damn good to boot! Every home should have one. Robert Bloemkolk
