Sounds Like
heavily emotional industrial with power electronics, lush ambient and harsh noise added in. distorted beats, mangled vocals and rather lovely strings. loss has even been decribed "gridlock goes power electronics", assuming that one is speaking of the first couple of albums. the full length loss cd, titled "i kill everything", has elements of noise, darkambient, industrial and even spoken word.
wishing to replace destructive behavior with something constructive, loss was created as an outlet of agression. each track having personal meaning and significance tied to a particular event or topic, emotion careens from each release.

The Mortusae double cd album is an epic sound release created by Nicolas Van Meirhaeghe aka Sal-Ocin (This Morn' Omina, Tzolk'in). It includes new and rare long deleted track and is a journey through time, regions and atmospheres. Mortusae is a restrospective of different periods of Empusae from almost a decade. A collection from early releases to more recent collaborations with friends & musical family. Containing tracks from the legendary maschinenfest 10 year jubileum, comic-book soundtrack and other never forgotten but very rare tracks of his first albums which were not released on hands. All tracks were mastered by Mika Goedrijk (This Morn' Omina, Pow(d)er Pussy). The red line through Mortusae and also Empusae's essence is dark, melodic, danceable and atmospheric electronic music based on the human gift >fantasy<. Merge yourself with beauty and decay, darkness and melancholy, tribal ceremonies and unearthly misery... enter into oblivion! Tracklist : CD1 HANDS D138 1. Agony (Misère I) 2.
