Nacked Warrior

We are a little bit late on that one, but as we say in French, better late than never. The label baptizes Mortalia's music as a "Cosmic Odyssey Metal" experience. Well, why not ? However, considering each of us associates or reacts differently when it comes to words, I prefer to say Mortalia plays atmospheric metal and is very influenced by Lacuna Coil and The Gathering. Cosmic feelings are actually generated by the samples and the arrangements on the vocals. I have to admit that your soul fly with Nacked Warrior and I can easily imagine these guys are fans of Paradise Lost or Pink Floyd, without forgetting Sentenced (song's arrangement). However, the overall is heavy and quite fast for an atmospheric metal band. No weak songs, no boring moments, excellent melodies (whoaw!!!) .... well a nice surprise coming from the atmospheric metal scene. Small detail here : the sound could have been much better as the production is far to be crystal clear. Antje Dieckmann (vocalist) reminds me so much Cristina Scabbia (Lacuna Coil's vocalist). If you like the last Lacuna Coil (Unleashed Memories) don't miss this one as the song-writing is really mature and the listener goes from surprising breaks to wonderful chorus. Otherwise, check before. "...As the time flows towards present, future and past, all unique passengers search for the last secrets. We are strangers from the past. Hidden behind, hidden behind and everything lasts ...", Mortalia.
