Seven years ago, Tomas Petterson started to write this, the latest masterpiece of Ordo Rosarius Equilibrio. Now it is finally finished: An album that crushes the borders of Neofolk with overwhelming musical sense and deep, poetic words. „Let‘s Play“ is more than ‘just’ the next album of this exceptional band, it is the rise for the stars and a sound-built manifest of art.
The long composing time reflects the supernal standard of composer Tomas: „I see „Let’s Play“ as the final version of Ordo Rosarius Equilibrio. It‘s my cruel mistress. It’s my white whale. And finally, 7 years after its genesis, with numerous interferences and surprises in between, it is ultimately finished.“ And where „Songs 4 Hate & Devotion“ and „Vision:Libertine“ stopped, is where „Let‘s Play“ actually starts: Between darkness and a sinister taste, between sex and death, the songs are more playful and free yet more serious and focussed than ever.
The band calls their music Apocalyptic Pop, and World Downfall never tasted so sweet.
Released Mid September 2019 by Out Of Line.
