Ovro is a Finnish musician who has also collaborated with Niko Skorpio under the name Hæretici 7o74. The press release describes this as 'a bunch of stories told by different personalities. Whether the stories told are true, or just true to the one(s) telling them is left to the listener to decide.' And Ovro knows how to tell a story. If the mini poster that comes with the disc is any indication, this won't be the kind of story that has a happy ending, either. We begin with some minimal music of drums, bells, and drone and spoken word samples like 'he who summons the magic controls the magic.' This gives us an idea of what we're in for. The use of samples on this album is a lot more pronounced than usual in this kind of music, but this is by design. As she put it, 'It all began with a sudden urge to start collecting samples: 'Go forth and sample!'. Not only my usual field recordings, but samples from movies. Some were recorded straight from TV when the movie was on, some were nicked from movies in our DVD collection. There are bits from good movies, from bad movies, famous movies, obscure movies and everything in between ' but all more or less from the horror et al genre (I wonder how that happened, heh).' At times the samples become a bit heavy handed though. For example, 'Fate Dealer' repeats 'You're my hate disposal unity.' Still, overall this is good ritualistic ambiance with interesting use of samples throughout to build atmosphere. If you like your dark ambient extra dark, this is one to check out. This album weighs in at around 64 minutes and is limited to 250 copies.
