Oops. Surpirse! The latest CD Memoirs of THIRD AND THE MORTAL sounds totally different from everything they did before. I can hardly remember such an extreme change by any other group. This release has nothing in common wih their atmospheric and melodic Goth-Metal from Tears Laid In Earth or Painting On Glass. THIRD AND THE MORTALs sound five years after In This Room reminds me in a way of Portishead. Nevertheless one can't say that the Norwegian band doesn't have an unique sound. The songs are unwieldly and have an atmospheric character. It is defintely sombre and melancholic, eletronic too, but there are also guitars. The result is in no way bad, but the old fans surely will check if they have the right cd in their CD player.
