5.0 out of 5 stars One of my all-time favorite albums, February 24, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Fathom (Audio CD)

First of all, I must warn you. THIS IS NOT INDUSTRIAL!! It is as Mortal themselves call it-- alternative hyper-soul. While this term is quite ambiguous, there is no other way to describe it. These guys are an example of post-modern rock. They can be viewed in the same light as NIN, even though they're music is nothing alike. You see, both are viewed as being the saviour of something they don't even claim to be apart...Industrial music. Certainly many songs, like "Alive & Awake", "Promulgate", and "Godspeed" ALLUDE to a more industrial flavor. However, songs like "Bright Wing" and "Jil Sent Me" are very much pop tunes. At any rate, regardless of what this album could possibly be classified as, it is very innovative. Slashy guitars, distorted screams, and heavy grooves all make for a very interesting ride. This album, were it remixed today, could be HEAVY, HEAVY, HEAVY. The lyrics are very poetic and deep. I love them as much as I love the music. In closing, I want you to realize that classifying this album as "Industrial" would be doing it a great injustice. It is what it is. Get it now!

5.0 out of 5 stars Probably the best Christian heavy industrial I've heard., November 30, 1998

The best CD by Mortal. It has all around good songs. The heavy industrial is great and the CD has an unusual variety of sounds. One of the best Christian CD's you can buy if you like industrial or hardcore.

I have loved this album since I first heard it in 1993. I simply love the music and wish there is more of it. Sadly the band seemed to depart from the style in this album in a big way. Still, I have been listening to this album, off and on, for the past fifteen years and I am still listening to it. I highly recommend anyone and everyone to get a hold of this music.
