  │ it's hard to believe that revolutionary hardcore drum'n'bass producer      │
  │ mathis mootz, more commonly known as panacea, is releasing his sixth       │
  │ full-length album as m2 - pronounced "squaremeter" but it's true, and in   │
  │ keeping with an unrelenting drive to push himself, mootz delivers an       │
  │ complete and total evolution in m2's ethos with war of sound. "an artist   │
  │ should always progress with his sound, the actual style of m2 i've been    │
  │ working on is more 'danceable,' better for live-shows than the complete    │
  │ ambient-like productions i've done in the past," says mootz. "well,        │
  │ certainly there have been loads of glitch-ambient releases in the past but │
  │ my live shows with m2 really showed me the necessity of beats. i thought   │
  │ it would be easy to work with rhythm in m2 songs - they are all from 60 to │
  │ 90 bpm... slow so you can easily bang your head!" getting to the head      │
  │ banging takes a little while, as war of sound builds in slow, deliberate   │
  │ movements, carefully establishing a dark chord progression in the          │
  │ introductory "the cry of morgoth" that flows throughout the album. this    │
  │ ominous leitmotif is enriched by mootz' liberal use of vocal elements -    │
  │ both as a focal point via heart-wrenching voice solos and the evil-toned   │
  │ narration from the silmarillion, and as somber texture in the distant      │
  │ sounds of a purgatorial choir. on the second track, "turbulent sound,"     │
  │ more characteristically clickish m2 sounds penetrate war of sound's        │
  │ macabre fabric, where laptop glitch elements akin to sinecore's microsound │
  │ aesthetic pepper the music before cracking into a blistering break that    │
  │ foreshadows the tempestuous driving synth pulse of "discord (war of        │
  │ sound)." "the music seized" offers a melodic respite with gentle ambient   │
  │ tones that makes the metal-tinged pounding of "the scourges of fire" the   │
  │ malevolent zenith of war of sound, with its thunderous echo and martial    │
  │ tempo. the rancor continues into the denouement, "thus began also...,"     │
  │ another glitch-filled affair married to overtones of synth oblivion. war   │
  │ of sound ends on the prophetic minor chords of "in ages forgotten:" and    │
  │ the melodies which had been heard before foundered in a sea of turbulent   │
  │ sound. special cardboard packaging w/ metallic paper.                      │
