The sounds of the last regular studio album from MANTUS have
barely faded away yet Martin Schindler is already releasing
another ambitious project which could cause quite a stir for
some. "Die Hochzeit von Himmel und Hoelle" is an ambitious
collage of typically catchy MANTUS songs, instrumental pieces
and elements in the style of a play, all based on William
Blake's book "The Marriage of Heaven and Hell". Blake's painting
"The Great Red Dragon" should be known to many from the
similarly-named "Hannibal Lecter" film and from the book by
Thomas Harris. Blake's paintings and poems, full of powerfully
eloquent poetry, dark strength and fascinating reflections on
the world have lost none of their relevance and appeal even up
to the present day. By using the framework of Blake's poetry,
MANTUS succeed in creating an album which, predominantly through
the spoken lyrics, stands out clearly from MANTUS' own works and
yet offers the same inspirational elements that their fans are
fond of. Powerful song structures, the mixture of hard guitars
and driving percussion, the extravagant classical arrangements
and the subtle use of acoustic instruments such as guitars and
harpsichord mixed with electronic set pieces. The combination of
catchy hooklines, imaginative soundtrack structures and the
expressive choral speaking of Thalia and Martin Schindler, based
on Blake's texts, creates a total work of art which easily
masters the balancing act between high quality musical art and
catchy gothic music.
With "Die Hochzeit von Himmel und Hoelle", MANTUS have succeeded
in pulling off a brilliantly-executed piece of dark, catchy
musical art and sophisticated lyricism.
This luxurious first edition of the album comes in A5 format,
containing a special booklet with astonishing illustrations and
a precious art print. Strictly limited to 1999 copies worldwide.
