[1995]
Spooky ye olde voices.
Mars: Requiem is an impressive blend of oratario and 90s industrial flavours. Placing liturgical vocals amongst a dystopian post industrial landscape creates a creepy and ominous effect then at other times it feels pretty sacred and devotional. Some relate these ancient vocal stylings as demonic opera but that probably has more to do with pop culture's inclusion of such music in horror movies but then again who knows what the intentions were. Actually some of the more bombastic tunes from Mars: Requium would have been perfect for a game or movie soundtrack while the more solemn songs would be more suited to being heard in a cathedral.
