Editorial Review:
Album Description:
The Southern Wisconsin quintet, Luna Mortis, is about to make a huge impact on the metal scene with their epic, piercing debut release The Absence. Luna Mortis prides itself on blurring genre lines to arrive at something both beautiful and aggressive. Their ability to capture a progressive and dark sound should appeal to metalheads regardless of their sonic inclinations. Mary Zimmer's approach is unlike her contemporaries with an unlimited range and dynamic scope and will quickly help set the group apart from the pack.

Formerly known as Ottoman Empire, Luna Mortis is a heavy metal band hailing from the cheese state Wisconsin. I discovered them through one of the social networking websites a couple of years ago and immediately became a fan of their music. THE ABSENCE is a culmination of the last few years the band spent playing bars between Wisconsin and Minnesota. The results is fantastic. The songs are all loaded with aggressive guitar riffs, thunderous percussion, throbbing basslines, and powerful vocals. Mary ...

This is really good metal from a fresh american band. Think Arch Enemy and At the Gates meets Kamelot, and Stratovarius, with a little Evanescence. Luna Mortis has powerful female vocals from Mary Zimmer, both clean and harsh, which showcase the dynamics of this band. They are extremely melodic, containing the best elements of Melodic Death, and Power, and Progressive metal, along with all the classic metal influences. They used to be the Ottoman Empire, but recently changed their name to Luna ...

The title of this review say it all. The influence of Maiden is there with the story telling in the lyrics, the Killer riffs with a flare of Judas Priest is there and the headbangability of Slayer all packaged with Luna's personalized touch. Mary's dynamic vocal range can only be compared to Rob Halford's without the over the top opera stuff. This is one for the ages for sure and I personally can't wait till their next one comes out.

After having been subjected to poorly executed, rehashed metal albums from new bands for nigh an eternity, "The Absence" by Luna Mortis comes as a breath of fresh air in a music scene deluged by mediocrity. To compare Luna Mortis to another female-fronted metal band would be a tragic disservice, as Mary Zimmer's beautiful, full-bodied contralto stands in stark contrast to the breathy sopranos and "one trick pony" guttural vocalists that constitute the status quo. Zimmer can do guttural vocals with ...

If you like bands such as Arch Enemy, Lacuna Coil, Kittie - which I describe as "metal with powerful female vocalists" - then you will like this album from Luna Mortis. They sound like a real band who actually writes their own songs, plays their own instruments, and majorly kicks butt at doing so. It's an honest-to-gosh great metal album, folks.
