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.
"Grace of God" is available in deluxe Digipak edition, containing
a data track whose contents can be unlocked only via a custom made player made
available at www.puissance.info.
Equilibrium Music will also be releasing a re-mastered and re-designed
edition of the band's 1998 album "Back
In Control" at the same time. |
