MORGENSTERN COLD ALBUM ANT-ZEN RELEASE: SPRING, 2001 REVIEW: MAY 4, 2001

Morgenstern is sort of an ambient power noise band, belonging to the famous Ant-zen label. One of the two band members is also the brain behind Asche from the same label.
Morgenstern are an experience live, despite the non-existing live show. They build up an attractive atmosphere with the scary soundscapes and the hypnotizing loops forming some kind of repetitive mantra. This atmosphere doesn't really come alive at home. This is probably because this music needs to be played at loud volume, unless you use it as a background. Although, it gets better when the faster noisy loops and the female distorted, almost unrecognisable, vocals kick in. This music is pretty good, but it is probably necessary to play it at the right occasion.
