"Mental Slavery" is without a doubt the most open and club-
oriented album from LEAETHER STRIP since Claus Larsen's return to
the forefront of the electronic scene. This masterfully
delivered, angry and upbeat release deals with the mental
distortions triggered by our world made of fear, pain and anger.
A concept perfectly captured in the album art by the talented
American artist Evi Numen.
This emotional violence is translated into a roller-coaster
collection of EBM songs constructed around powerful electronic
sequences, punishing beats and brutal harsh vocals (as evidenced
in tracks like "Turmoil", "Your God Has Left You Tonight", "No
Entry No Exit", "Battle Mind", etc.) And to avoid making this
dark album sound too claustrophobic and intricate, Larsen has
added a little touch of experimentation through a couple of more
intimate songs ("Invade My Body" or "The Bears Aren't Sleeping
Tonight") and other slower, more moody tracks ("We Built the
Walls", the poignant "Slow", the carrying "Dead Soil" and the
grandiose yet dreamy "Abscido") which all together reinforce
the richness of this chef d'oeuvre.
Also noticeable is the evident inspiration of the classics in
the likes of Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata", Chopin's "Funeral
March" or songs like the pearl "My Shadow Is Your Home" and even
"My Funeral". There is also the splendid collaboration with
ANDI SEX GANG who offers the perfect vocal duet to "What Have I
done", plus an acoustic version of "Songs for Pia" by
I:SCINTILLA's Jim Cookas...
"Mental Slavery" is bound to become a milestone in LEAETHER
STRIP's prolific career, gathering in a way the best elements
that have made the band's career a success to date, but also
opening new directions and exploring new grounds, reminding us
of how unpredictable our favorite Danish multi-talented artist
can be.
