Nihilist Notes (And the Perpetual Quest 4 Meaning in Nothing) is the fourth full-length album by Ordo Rosarius Equilibrio on the German label Out of Line to which they signed in 2010 following the demise of Swedish cult label Cold Meat Industry.
Preceded by the 4 track mini-album “La Fleur du Mal” in March, “Nihilist Notes” takes multiple steps in directions that appear to move away from the more melodic aspects of the highly acclaimed full-length album “Let’s Play [Two Girls & a Goat] from 2019.
“Nihilist Notes” is dark, oppressive, and raw. It’s a deceleration of war orchestrated by drums and horns rather than guitars and pianos as we are used to. The sound is rather more martial than folk, but still clearly Ordo Rosarius Equilibrio. The new album merges the crudeness of the past, such as “Conquest Love & Self-Perseverance”, with the refinement and perfection of the present. It becomes a convergence of both past and present into a perfect symbiosis of what’s to come.
“Nihilist Notes” will be released on May 20th as CD Digipak & on cassette (in red incl. a pencil). However, the highlight is the deluxe wooden box set, strictly limited to 444 pieces, which, in addition to the CD, also exclusively includes the album on 10″ vinyl and 5 collector’s coins with a noble case.
3 Jahre nach ihrem letzten album melden sich Ordo Rosarius Equilibrio mit einem neuen album zurück: “Nihilist Notes (And the Perpetual Quest 4 Meaning in Nothing)”.
