The time is nigh for “Liber III”, the third chapter in Blut Aus
Nord’s open-ended,
existential “What Once Was…”odyssey. Although clearly analogous to the
band’s core
body of work, this series of works subsists in a parallel plane, presenting
the
messenger in a more stripped-down and organic state, exposing an aspect of
Blut
Aus Nord that would otherwise have remained hidden from the world. In keeping
with the modus operandi of its predecessors, the third movement constitutes a
bitter
narration of pasts cold and lost; a nihilistic expression of the soulless,
empty
nothingness that prevails today; and a harrowing glimpse of a dystopian
future,
pregnant with pain and suffering. Raging tempestuously, tumultuously, these
six
outraged odes to oblivion epitomise instability and embrace chaos yet – oh
so
poignantly! – are masterfully controlled. !
