We have a professional promo here. From graphics to production everything is really hi-quality: a very good cover, clearly made by some professional graphic designer and a perfect production, fruit of good recording studios and an accurate mixing.

What about the music? The Greeks Mors In Tabula play an avantgarde electro/industrial Black Metal, obviously infulenced [how can it be different?] from the great Samael, ["Passage" era] with an heavy and rithmic riffing, drummachine and synth together with a "real" drum, and filtered screamings. The overall mood is quite dark, haunting yet violent.

As i said before, the sound is nearly perfect, cold mechanic and powerful as it should be for this genre of metal, and the three musicians [two Giutars/Vocals and one drummer] are experienced and precise in the execution. The 4 tracks are really interesting, well structured and never boring.
Should be mentioned the very good synth programming, that's not only some childish beats like some bands do...
Therefore, nothing bad to be found in this Promo CD that, with 3-4 more tracks could easily be a very good debut CD. Maybe it's nothing of extremely original, but here the quality can replace the originality.

If you like the genre, [bands like Samael, Rammstein, Thee Maldoror Kollective, ..And Oceans, etc.]that's a product of real quality, able to stand proud in the -now a bit crowdy- industrial metal scene.
Let's wait for a good debut album now.
