Four hands are better than two, they claim. The ambiguity that reigns supreme in the Sweden of the Ordo Rosarius Equipoise returns after two years to lead each of us back to the path of sin, to the sound of electronic and ceremonial requiem on the border between the ecclesiastical and the blasphemous. The decadent and depraved beauty to which we had become accustomed continues to change faces, lifting one after the other infinite masks that hide behind the voice of Tomas Pettersson, always mischievous and sinuous. For the new work “Onani” (biblical reference to coitus interruptus) masterfully accompany the sound range with increasingly explicit and lascivious lyrics, where temptation prevails, seduction intrigues and the dogma remains that of indulging one’s most visceral and unconfessable desires. So a work that is not surprising at its base, “Glory To Thee, My Beloved Masturbator “heralds the fundamental theme from the title, yet they further enrich the musical sphere with both vocal and instrumental elements (such as sighs, tambourines, trumpets). They even reach the almost neo-folk of” CUM, and let me lead you far astray “thanks to the Nordic trumpet and the acoustic melody and brazenly approach a Gregorian choir with unmistakable groans in” Let Me Show You , All The Secrets Of The Torture Garden” followed by the slow funeral march “Forgive Me, I Am Not Satan; I Am Mary Just Like You”. Italian participation of Marco Deplano (Wertham, Foresta Di Ferro) who manifests in “Red Love, Brown Love, Black Love” the various stages of love, if it can be one.
