Mortiis - The Smell of Rain 2LP NEW
Earache Records
2001's 'The Smell Of Rain' heralded seismic changes for Emperor alumnus Mortiis. Mortiis stepped up to the microphone as a lead vocalist for the first time, and the album expanded to encompass more live musicians, ushering in a metamorphosis in his sound. Closer to synthpop in parts, the album clutched more tightly onto it's industrial rock sensibilities and became significantly more refined and propulsive as a result. It had a lithe groove, subtle catchiness, and a thrumming, murky energy. Looking back now, it was a truly unique release for Mortiis amidst the rest of his discography.
25 years on, the record's forward-thinking, open-minded quality means it hardly feels out of place in 2026, where melding genres feels more natural than staying in just one lane. To celebrate, it is receiving it's first pressing to vinyl since it's original year of release. RSD Essentials Exclusive 2xLP Clear w/ Cream & Black Splatter Vinyl in Gatefold Jacket
