The cogwheels on the Puissance warmachine are back to work, as defiant and innovative as ever. “Grace of God” re-invents the current notion of Martial-Pop, with their own superior combination of sumptuous Neo-Classical and Industrial music.
Three years after “State Collapse”, the cogwheels on the Puissance-warmachine have been fine-tuned and put to work again, in a crushing motion that seems to be as defiant and innovative as ever. Forerunners in blending post-Industrial soundscapes with seemingly Wagnerian inspired classical scores, the Swedish duo’s controversial portrayal of human life often tends to raise a mix of conflicting feelings towards them.
In keeping with such tradition, this return by Puissance serves as a lucid statement on current world affairs. In Soderlund’s own words, “"Grace of God”is partially meant as a commentary on contemporary events both social and political. Our goal is to inform yet retain a poetic undertone to frame our analysis of world politics and objectives. This album focus heavily on the foreign policy of western civilizations particularly inspired by neoconservatives and other proponents of economically based genocides in third world countries. Rather than subscribing to any political agenda, Puissance stands out as artists against the political and financial motives that have led up to numerous unresolvable conflicts that are on the verge of plunging us into the third world war.“
Musically, "Grace of God” could well be referred to as a re-definition of the currently over-abused Martial-Pop term, yet Puissance’s own superior combination of sumptuous Neo-Classical and Industrial elements raises any potential Pop anthem to an entirely distinct level. More melodic and vocal-oriented than before, this latest opus also comes to expose a more rhythmic approach that had been hinted at in previous releases, but which has now morphed into a powerful and relentless driving force in Söderlund and Möller’s compositions. Compellingly militant as well as beautifully apocalyptic, “Grace of God” finds Puissance in top form, presenting a fine compendium of all bits and pieces that the band have been flirting with throughout their career and incorporating them in a unique style which will again set new standards, as they have been known to do in previous outputs.

In the year 1999, while mankind sat unnaware of their fate and wondering if the moon would drift away into the far reaches of space as the XXth century came to an end, Puissance would reappear, clad in shining armour.
With the Industrial rust of early days properly polished, the Swedish duo would further explore their talent for graceful arrangements set to Militaristic Neo-Classical music. Following the overtly confrontational offerings of “Let Us Lead” and “Back In Control”, Puissance were now set to resurrect the ghosts of Cold War and the obsession with all things thermonuclear that haunted the planet – the Mother of Disease, as they would call it – over that period. Brooding hymns to suicidal heroism, devotional praises to a new god that would finally bring closure to the human race, the screeching of metal twisting and melting – all of this would find its place in Puissance’s own beautiful vision of the impending apocalypse, that they so ingeniously depict on “Mother of Disease”.
“Mother of Disease” is the third full length album produced by Puissance, and also their third re-issue on Equilibrium Music, following the early “Let Us Lead” and “Back In Control” releases, and last year’s new album, “Grace of God”. Much like it’s predecessors on this fine collection, it has been re-mastered and enhanced with one bonus track, presented in a matte-blue deluxe digipak edition.

A Film by Jose Moral & José Luis Martínez:
During World War II, German scientists and occultists, in their quest for perfection, developed a substance capable of creating a mystical metamorphosis in men and enhance their human condition. A key to get in tune with the gods and achieve a higher level of existence. With the fall of Germany after an atomic bomb that razed the entire country and its empire, the substance called FUTHARK 5 fell in the hands of a secret society whose apology was the mind control and decay. This sect used the substance and its effects as an instrument to extinction. After one of these experiments, one of his guinea pigs escaped, developing the original effects of the substance, passing to another dimensional plane and posing a threat to the organized chaos.
Estigmas + La Glorificación del Icono Traumatico is a cult film, a philosophical thriller, GH Records rescues from oblivion with image enhancements and new songs to the soundtrack. In the original motion picture we can find bands such as: Death in June or The Moon Lay Hidden Beneath a Cloud, even though they appeared in the original soundtrack of the film, finally they’ve been not included in the publication of the B.S.O. …A Film Cult.
Durante la II Guerra Mundial, científicos y Ocultistas Alemanes, en su búsqueda por la perfección, desarrollaron una substancia capaz de crear una metamorfosis mística en el hombre y realzar su condición humana. Una llave para entrar en sintonía con los dioses y alcanzar un nivel superior de existencia. Con la caída de Alemania tras una bomba atómica que arraso todo el país y su imperio, la substancia denominada FUTHARK 5, cayó en manos se una sociedad oculta cuya apología era el control de la mente y la decadencia. Esta Secta utilizó la sustancia y sus efectos como un instrumento para la extinción. Tras uno de estos experimentos, uno de sus cobayas logró escapar, desarrollando los efectos originales de la sustancia, pasando aso a otro plano dimensional y suponiendo una amenaza para el caos organizado.
ESTIGMAS es un thriller filosófico por así decirlo que sitúa al hombre en su estado más primitivo, todo transcurre durante una hecatombe nuclear a mitades de siglo. Supuestamente una sociedad oculta ha permanecido bajo tierra con una extraña substancia en su poder y ahora opera con ella en ese panorama hasta que un producto de sus experimentos escapa y desarrolla unos niveles superiores de existencia, lo que es una amenaza para todos.

Nine songs inspired by Nordic traditions and culture, dedicated to lost values. Nine spells to evoke the old Gods and pay tribute to the warrior spirit of the past. “De Nio Kraftsångerna” is the long awaited debut album by Leidungr, the latest project by H. Möller (of Arditi and Puissance), M. Belfagor (of Nefandus and Ofermod) and P. Ståhl. Crafted by weaving ritual elements into traditional folk, the trinity’s mesmerizing work is also imbued with an indelible martial aura which reinforces the underlying heroic mood summoned on these recordings. The potent and evocative combination, which spreads across various genres, often recreating their common formats, allows Leidungr to carve their unique brand of Nordic Ritual Folk – a term which perfectly defines the genuine atmosphere of this work, now finally available in a matt digipak CD with copper printing, featuring artwork by Freki Wodenswolf.

Hiding in the shades of grey, sheltered by the white noise I see you. Finding just a single strand, reel you in and make you see the truth.
Blending in so perfectly, underneath the layers of disbelief. Sharpening the claws again, Cutting out the patterns on demand.
I’m gathering momentum…
Stalking in the shadowlands, always looking out for number one. Deep inside the neverland, factories are cooking lies for you.
