I’ve to admit that I haven’t paid attention on all the previous musically efforts of the turnip-nose MORTIIS. His musically direction to produce Industrial/Goth-Rock and his past of being active in the Death-Metal genre (EMPEROR) have never been my cup of tea. But for this new 16-track CD he has invited several international renowned acts out of different music styles to keep his musically output interesting and diverse. "Some Kind Of Heroin" is a remix companion to his last studio album "The Grudge". The album and especially the two Si-CD releases "The Grudge" and "Decadent And Desperate" could enter the Top 50 of the UK Single Charts – surely a non-expected success. Especially the chosen Electro/Industrial front offers some international renowned names and offers quality stuff – IMPLANT and Sebastian R. Komor with his wife Renee aka ZOMBIE GIRL can be named to the currently rising acts. Also featured are FUNKER VOGT (new CD called "Aviator" out now...), VELVET ACID CHRIST (...Bryan has just ended his recordings on his long expected side-project TOXIC COMA...), Italy’s XP8 (... who are returning the favor to MORTIIS for receiving a remix out on BLC Productions "Interbreeding IX: Kuru"...) – while the best remix work is offered by the rather undiscovered Italian act MENTAL SIEGE on the track "The Grudge". This piece features the intense Industrial/Goth abilities of MORTIIS, but it doesn’t forget to include the own identity of this Italian act – well done, and I hope to hear more from them on some own stuff soon. Also the remix work of the UK-based GOTHMINISTER surprises with a not expected amount of Electro elements, while the remix works of THE KOVENANT, PIG or GIRLS UNDER GLAS are tending more into the typically MORTIIS kind. I also like to mention the last track here, which is a remix by IN THE NURSERY (Yes, you read it right...), an "Extraction Mix" on the track "The Worst in Me". With 16 tracks and more than 70 minutes playing time this new edition of MORTIIS is a must for the fans, as well as the right marketing strategy to offer a new release to the currently happening European tour. Thanks to the given diversity this release will satisfy also the tastes of the Electro/Industrial and Metal/Crossover genres.
