Remember taking LSD as a teenegaer? I do...remember it well. The highs, the lows, the wierdness! With the exception of Pan Thy Monium, Tulus is the audiable equivalent of tripping.
Sure this is their 4th album, and most accomplished. Two of the 3 members from Khold gaining more writing experience from several years away from Tulus. This shows in the song writing right from the start. On the whole a more consistent and refined affort.
Biography Obscene is nuts! You don't usually associate piano, violin, female vocals and acoustic guitar in the same song where black metal is concerened, but Tulus make it work in a grim, gritty and nekro style that is truly unique.
Mainly mid-paced this album defies all the know 'rules' of this genre. Sure parts of it sound similar to khold but that soon evaporates into streamers of darkness that linger while the ears are elsewhere (just like tripping). It is probably a good thing that acid is no longer available where I live...maybe irule can volunteer for some shrooms and a night on Tulus!
The singing is routine Khold/Tulus stuff but the arrangements are berzerk with classical style string instruments beefing up the atmosphere. The riffing is really interesting and varied with each song ofering something different.
I read that they take their influence from Norse Fairy Tales and Stories, if thats the case all these must be about Trolls ritually fisting each other and Krakens head-butting collosal breasts with vikings being slaughtered wholesale on a bed of special lettuace!
Anyone wanting a different black metal experience would do well to check this album out. For originality 9/10
