Nihilist Notes (And the Perpetual Quest 4 Meaning in Nothing) is the 4th full length album by Ordo Rosarius Equilibrio on Out of Line to which they signed in 2010, following the demise of Swedish cult label Cold Meat Industry.
Preceded by the super limited and immediately sold-out 4 track mini album “La Fleur du Mal” in March, Nihilist Notes takes multiple steps in directions that appear to move away from the more melodic aspects of the highly acclaimed full length album “Let’s Play [Two Girls & a Goat] from 2019.
Nihilist Notes is dark, oppressive, harsh and tribal. It’s a deceleration of war orchestrated by drums and horns rather than guitars and pianos as we are used to. The sound is more martial than folk, but it is still very much Ordo Rosarius Equilibrio.
The new album merges the crudeness of the past, such as Conquest Love & Self-Perseverance, with the refinement and perfection of the present. It becomes a convergence of both past and present into a perfect symbiosis of what’s to come.
Super deluxe WOODEN box set, strictly limited to 444 pieces, which, in addition to the CD, also exclusively includes the album on double 10" vinyl and 5 collector's coins with a noble case.
Released Late May 2022 by Out Of Line.
