Saltatio Mortis Sturm Aufs Paradis

2011, It's defiant and angry revolutionary undertones suggest an anti-authoritarian approach to life, in which chance should not be left to fate. Down-to-earth metal and rock sounds combined with melodic bagpipe arrangements result in danceable appealing tracks that quickly reach their dramatic climax: the entire range of human emotions from the gleeman's perspective. Lyrically, Saltatio Mortis remain timely by taking on topics such as medical technology or the dangers of nuclear energy, while never neglecting their love of fairy tales and myth. Mastermind and drummer Lasterbalk is again responsible for the band's lyrics, while frontman Alea delivers the prose with his wide range of vocal abilities: from the heavier metal tenor to the more soulful ballad-like approach.
