Saltatio Mortis Das Schwarze Einmaleins

2013, Just recently the gleemen's live album MANUFACTUM III made it to number 16 in the German longplay charts, and now Saltatio Mortis are back with their highly anticipated brand-new rock album! DAS SCHWARZE EINMALEINS is the next logical step on their journey. The arrangements show a band at the height of its creativity offering the listener heavy rock guitars, sweeping bagpipe melodies and catchy refrains. Frontman Alea Der Bescheidene presents the full range of human emotions with his characteristic voice. He presents himself ready to attack one moment and in the next second, soulful and vulnerable. Lasterbalk Der Lästerliche wrote lyrics that are provoking, thoughtful and profound. He talks about the out of control desire for growth and profit or the creed (,,Wachstum Über Alles") where the golden times lie only in the past (,,Früher War Alles Besser"). Songs like these show the masterful skill of the band to unite melodies of medieval times with topics of this day and age.
