Ordo Rosarius Equilibrio
Nihilist Notes
Nihilist Notes (And the Perpetual Quest 4 Meaning in Nothing) is the 4th full length album by Ordo Rosarius Equilibrio on 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 "Lets Play [Two Girls & a Goat] from 2019. Nihilist Notes is dark, oppressive, harsh and tribal. Its a deceleration of war orchestrated by drums and horns rather than guitars and pianos as we are used to. The sound is more martial than folk, but it is still very much 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 whats to come.
