COMPOS MENTIS: Three New Songs Posted Online
June 6, 2009Danish melodic death metallers COMPOS MENTIS have uploaded three new songs from their upcoming album, "Our Kingdom of Decay", on the band's MySpace page. An e-card for the CD can be accessed at this location.
According to COMPOS MENTIS, "Our Kingdom of Decay" "is centered on Denmark and not least certain repressed episodes from the Danish history, thus presenting an interpretation of the country as rootless and nihilist, a country in which the inhabitants are inhibited due to being forced into a specific self-understanding — and in the end even the idea of the nation itself is decaying. It is said that Holger Danske is in a deep sleep but that he will awaken in an hour of need to defend Denmark and as such he has become a symbol of a slumbering, national war spirit. However, in his present shape with the arms tied up, not much resistance is left in him, and therefore even the country's last hope is unable to save the nation from decay.
"Our Kingdom of Decay" will be released on June 22 via Strange Ears in Denmark.
COMPOS MENTIS' second album, "Gehennesis", came out in March 2007 via Mighty Music.
