While the second half may slump into rebel stomp mediocrity, weighty Metallica-esque conceptualizations, and a ballad, the record starts off strong, really.
Looking for the perfect music to listen to while role-playing? If you are, Mortiis’ fourth album, regally entitled Emperor of a Dimension Unknown, is for you.
Imagine an Yngwie student chopping up those scales to a sterile progressive power metal wank littered with meaty guitar hooks and dickless warbling vocals.
The concept is supplemented by serious no-frills garage pop/rock, managing to avoid any conceptual art-wank pretense through aggression and solid songwriting.
