Crossing the borders between art, rebellion, passion, apocalypse and sex, ORDO ROSARIUS EQUILIBRIO have managed to settle in their very own musical niche with their opulent and intense sonic sculptures. "Songs 4 Hate & Devotion" is an emotional rollercoaster ride driven by the intense voice of Tomas Petterson that alternates martially majestic monuments of orchestral sounds, marching drums and percussion with very intimate and fragile moments, mingles cold wave, shoegaze and minimal elements with folkloristic structures and that manages to slip in the odd musical quote as well. The Swedish duo has carefully opened and evolved its unique sound into a wholly exceptional epic that consequently evades any easy categorization. Pop music for non-conformists.
This strictly limited vinyl edition comes in a deluxe gatefold cover, featuring an alternative track listing (eight tracks from the regular CD, plus two tracks from the bonus MCD).
