Madder Mortem - Liberator (from Marrow)

from The Taste of Teeth by To The Teeth

about

Ah, you think: "progressive metal, a bit of atmospheric doom, female vocals - I know what this will sound like!" But you don't. No band sounds like Madder Mortem, who are active since 1997. This band from Oslo, helmed by brother and sister Kirkevaag, make their metal very hard to classify, and that's part of why I like it so much. Yes it's dark and heavy, but also emotional and very human, earthly music. Agnete's voice really is like no other: not bombastic nor frail, but powerful and intense. I still return to 'Marrow', their last album from 2018, frequently and can't wait for something new (and there's something cooking in camp Madder Mortem!).

Madder Mortem is:

Agnete M. Kirkevaag - vocals
BP M. Kirkevaag - Guitars, percussion and vocals
Anders Langberg - Guitars
Tormod L. Moseng - Bass
Mads Solås - Drums, percussion and vocals

lyrics

Lyrics:

I'd misplaced my memories
The spark that made me lonely in the crowd
My nature was on hold
Hidden in myself, embers glowing
Spirit tamed and cowed
Will wary to unfold

I see it clearly now
Through my soul a feral streak runs

And this I swear: I'll be burning brighter
Never again will I forget what I am
Hold tight
Never let them drag you back in line

Survivor, rebel, liberator:
I reclaim the brightness of the sun
And the power of my savage, boundless heart
In your eyes I'll flare
Resound in you until the day I die
The stars are mine to own

You'll see me clearly now
Through my soul a feral streak runs

And this I swear: I will walk on fire
My steps will be momentous
You will know me for who I am

Hold tight
Never let them back into your mind
Make sure those voices drown
We know who we are and where we belong
The stars are ours to own
