M!R!M
Heaven

It’s 10 000 times more easy to enjoy the
music of M!R!M rather than describe it. I’ll try to do my best to
describe the sound of their early works; and I can say that it is a
fascinating combination of experimental Post Punk, a dark acid trip,
and traces of Dark Punk, Minimal- Wave, Electronic, and even some
pitch Death Rock. When I heard the music of M!R!M for the first
time, it was an awesome experience. And you can appreciate an
unquestionable evolution in this first
album released by Fabrika Recors. After releasing two E.P.s and one
single, finally we have the debut album from this very interesting
and visionary solo project.
“Jubile” has predating-dark mood and is
like a somber vortex spinning frenetically, and those whispered
vocals are giving this gloomy effect to the song. This is really a
good opener. “Seeking Love” is dark, intoxicating, and really
exciting. “Dead Inside” has pounding and dominating bass lines
accompanied with ghostly voices, and this ethereal guitar sound which
is like some distant lament. “Never Trust” is pretty obscure,
involving and catchy; everything seems so black here. “Liebe Machen”
is a perfect balance between dense atmosphere, and driving rhythm.
Time for Dark electronics with “Sodoma” a very relevant track
featuring Nathalie Bruno of Phosphor. They have described this song
as Noire Wave, and I like that definition; great instrumental
track.”Homesick” is nostalgic and evocative, and the vocals are
like a distant memory calling from the distance. Noire Wave sound is
back in “Lizzards” (featuring again the collaboration of Nathalie
Bruno), this track has mesmerizing atmosphere. “Acid Dreams” has
noisy erratic guitar effects and the song is constructed around
catchy-driving bass lines; it’s hallucinating. And finally
“Embraced forever” is a beautiful, sad, and quite dark tune.
