Nihil Novi Sub Sole – Promo 2009

Releasedate: 10-06-2009; Label: My Kingdom Music
By: Sabine van Gameren

This project of Marco Kehren, a dutch musician who is also known from Deinonychus, caries the nice describtion of ‘Apokalyptic Martial Music’.

He formed this project in 2008 and spreads his promo via My Kingdom Music. Currently the work to create a full length has been started. Musically, you can expect ambient music, almost taken from a movie. The first song of this project contains crying people as well, which immediately brings a doomish, depressive atmosphere. The second song, is more like brought from heaven, so sweet. This continues in the third song which works more up to a sense of victory. Or maybe conviction. You can leave your imagination do the job for you, as the music keeps it open for interpretation. My own interpretation lost track in the fourth song when I started thinking that I heard goats.

This music is not really music, that you would listen on cd, but more music you find back in films or videogames like Age of Empires. It is pleasant to listen to for a couple of times but perhaps too complex for listening recreationally.
