Description

Conscriptum is a double album of hard to find, remixed, collaboration and unreleased tracks which didn’t match the concept of any of Von Thronsthals studio albums. With a total of twenty eight tracks, the casual listener could have a good idea of the different sounds the band covered during these years as well as the fan could have into his hands a bunch of unreleased tracks and unfinished ones which could satisfy the curiosity of who would like to hear what a work in progress sounds like or a track that has been thrown away was. We could find martial classical tunes with powerful upfront choirs, neo-folk tunes with punk/electro influences (like the new “Deutsche passion”, born from a collaboration with Spreu And Weizen), different versions of classic tunes (like the opening “Reisswolf”, “Junges Europa” and “Domovino”), punk industrial folk songs that sounds like Dead Kennedy’s “California uber alles” (“Zerstort Und Auferstanden”), collaborations (“Nem Nem Soha” is a dark martial industrial track born from a collaboration with Sturmast) and new tracks like “Patientin, 25 Jahre”, “Gotterdammerung In Ruinen” or “Flut, Trance, Traum” which fortunately didn’t get lost (I liked their dramatic touch where choirs, industrial percussions and melody blend). There’s also a nice fast version of Death In June’s “Runes & Men” (a sort of country folk song with guitars, flutes and tambourines), one of the Skid’s “The Saints Are Coming” (an upbeat industrial goth version) and of Leonard Cohen’s version of “The blind partisan”. “Mars Macht Mobil III” sounds like a bit unfinished (it has an hip hop distorted rhythm with a synth line and different vocal lines) but you have 140 minutes of music to enjoy!
