MANSION - We Shall Live CD Reissue on Nine Records (Review)


Honestly speaking - this is not the kind of music that I used to listen to in my everyday life.
But Mansion seems to be really gifted and talented band.
They're coming from Finland. And this is a reissue of 2013 EP "We shall Live".
This piece of art is solid. Starting from the photo set in the booklet, mystic-occult lyrics till the wonderful video for "Slumber Sermon".  

Shame on my lazy ass - I've missed this act on Roadburn.
Right now I'm checking the line to the venue where the Mansion is going to play next !

Here're some words from the Polish Nine Recs.
This is their second relese. So they need your support.

"Reissue of cult ep recorded in 2013, first time on cd. The box includes 16 page booklet, lyrics and many previously unpublished pictures.

Mansion hails from Finland. The band name referers to the local Christian apocalyptic “mansionite” cult, Kartanoism, which lived it’s glory days in the 1920-50’s. Kartano is the Finnish word for mansion and is the surname of cult leader Alma Kartano. Mansion is a six piece band brought together to create strong music reflecting the life of the cult’s followers.

Their music it’s a great combination of doom, psychedelic rock and cult rock right out of the 70s. Jess and Ancient Ones, Sabbath Assembly, The Devil’s Blood, Jex Thoth – you know what I mean."
