CD at one of their finest moments.......2002-05-03

This album is a diverse collection of earlier Christian Death songs with Valor. Some are more hard-edged and heavy, while others are slower and more mellow. The songs on this album are all great, and i never get sick of them no matter how many times i listen to them. i love the smooth, slow melodic sound and feel of "Somnium", which also has some great lyrics. Gitane's great vocals are featured on "Venenum". This is one of the better discs that Christian Death has made and i encourage you to check it out.

"Do we eat to live or live to eat?"-Malus Amor

A Superb Collection For Any Gothic Fan.......2001-05-11

This CD always seemed to be a mysterious anachronism - out of place and out of time with Valor's musical and thematic direction of the time. Granted, I was a huge fan of Christian Death when this came out in 1990, but since I wasn't yet in the "fan club", I knew very little of the behind-the-scene drama going on with the band. Thus, I was subsequently unaware of the circumstances surrounding this great body of work. First and foremost, I was confused as to why there was actually a track with Rozz singing, especially when I knew that the controversies between he and Valor were volatile at best. Anyway, to settle the confusion, this is a collection of sorts, containing unreleased tracks from the days when Rozz and Valor were actually working together mixed with new material that truly blows away anything else Valor put out for a number of years before OR after this CD's release. With that being said, each track is a definite highlight. Replete with slithering basslines, crushing drums, and haunting stringed passages, "Malus Amor" is a refreshingly straightforward and spiteful world view as expressed by Valor. Void of his usual cryptic, metaphorical expressions, and seasoned with sarcasm, abject humor, and a venomous tongue, this is likely the centerpiece of the album. "Somnium", a dizzying lyrical maze about the reality of dreams, sounds like it would have musically fit well on "The Scriptures" or even their early "Ashes" masterpiece. Knowing that Gitane had left after the "Sex & Drugs..." tour, it is refreshing and chilling to hear her voice complement Valor word for word in "Venenum". I can honestly say - with no exaggeration - that this song is so catchy and contagious (especially that to-die-for chorus) that it is still one of my top five Christian Death songs of all time. It's that good. Thank goodness, then, that it was finally rescued and released and not lost forever in a vault somewhere! Every time I hear "Venenum" I always find myself re-playing it at least three times in a row - with the hair on my arms standing on end each time... I kid you not. Finally, we are treated to a fitting end with "Mors - Voluntaria" and "Vita - Voluntaria". "Death" is convincingly portrayed with ominous, foreboding heavy metal riffs that have been sampled and twisted into nightmarish forms, while "Life", complete with its glorious and uplifting message, advocates living a triumphant life and overcoming the obstacles on your path to true happiness. It may stand to reason that one of Valor's greatest triumphs is simply a consequential collection of unreleased material. Whether that was by accident or by design, "Insanus, Ultio, Proditio, Misericordiaque" is a timeless classic and a must-have for fans of Christian Death, no matter which front-man you prefer. In a word: essential!!

this album rocks.......2000-04-05

this is such a great album great vocals and insturments,it's a must own for the fellow Christian Death lover.

Insanity, Tragedy, Revenge and Pity.......2000-01-22

Recorded between 1985 and 1990, 'Insanus...' gathers together previosuly unreleased songs from Valor's archives, as well as several new numbers. Given this 'out-takes' status, it might come as a surprise to learn that this work stands up there with the best Christian Death have ever recorded. Valor's orchestral-classical influences are ever-present, whether it be on the operatic 'Sevan-Us-Rex' (his own rendering of Oedipus Rex, recorded with the assitance of the English Chamber Orchestra and the Abbey Choir) or on the soundtrack-like 'Tragicus Conatus'. Every piece here is a stand-out, and despite the amount of experimentation, all retain a pleasing sense of meoldy. 'Malus Amor' offers philosophical ruminations set to some of the darkest and most intriguing music ever written, 'Venenum' is poppy and upbeat, whilst 'Mors-Volunataria' combines samples and timpani with industrial style guitars. 'Vita-Voluntaria' reminds us hope is not lost, however, and urges us to overcome life's challenges. Similarly, whilst Valor continues carrying the torch, all is not lost for contemporary music.

An awesome psychological ride of a CD.......1999-08-12

Christian Death never run out of themes to disseminate and on this CD they take the listener on a roller coaster of a ride, with lyrics about deviant sex, insomnia, death, insanity, and the like. The music is great and surprisingly melodic, almost with a pop feel. But don't forget this is still a dark goth band and the best in the world at that!

A magnificent collection of songs!.......2000-09-07

Oddly, this collection of outtakes from Valor's Christian Death is among the band's best albums. It opens with the incredible "Sevan-Us-Rex", a dark piece that combines orchestral instrumentation, a male vocal chorus, and Valor's interesting experimentation with sound and voices. This is followed by "Malus Amor", a rock track driven by a wonderful rhythmic bassline and accented by occassional orchestral production. "Tragicus Conatus" is one of Valor's trademark experimental tracks, this time using orchestral instrumentation and production to create a quite haunting piece. "Vexatio" is another great rock track, this time driven by an excellent lead guitar line rather than bass, with a nice experimental interlude section in the middle. Then comes "Somnium", a very beautiful rock track with a chorus that features an emotional string (or keyboard) section. The lyrics are also great on this track, qualifying it as one of Valor's most emotionally stirring light rock songs to date. "Venenum" returns to faster rock, with the welcome addition of Gitane Demone's vocals doubled with Valor's throughout the song. It is well-written, well-performed, and well-produced (with subtle layers of instruments weaving around eachother in the background). "Mors Voluntaria" is another experimental piece that combines orchestration with experimental loops, noise, and a few metal guitar riffs with vocals, leading into "Vita-Voluntaria", a lighter piece that very effectively combines organ with ethereal orchestral and choral backgrounds. The bonus track, "Infans Vexatio", is a version of "Vexatio" with alternate lyrics and vocals (I think) by Rozz Williams...and also a different experimental interlude section. It is a welcome bonus track, actually better than the original album version.

Basically, my advice is to buy this album! It is just as good as any Christian Death singles compilation I have heard while also accomplishing the feat of retaining the flow of a proper album. Incredible!
