Imagine the force of countless orgasms focused into a single purpose, a single vision made flesh- and you have Ordo Rosarius Equilibrio's 8th full-length album: O N A N I - [Practice makes Perfect].
This release, two years in the making, inspired partly by la petit mort, the little death achieved by one's own hands or by the hands of others (as four hands please better than two) continues in the O.R.E. tradition of opulent depravity and decadent beauty as an unrestrained aural and aesthetic opus to the drives of man, sealed with apocalips kisses.


The music is in the ever-evolving sound of O.R.E., seductive and somber ? this time possibly with a more "pop" orientation, which makes the songs all the more poignant. Lush guitars, pounding percussions, humming organs and pianos, church choirs, subtle moans and female vocals by muse and mistress Rose-Marie Larsen, and the added new element of a softly throbbing drummachine creates the evocative, ravenous soundtrack. And yet above all hovers the most dominant element- the stern and yet alluring voice of the visionary behind O.R.E., Tomas Pettersson, singing, speaking, inviting us to cum with him.
There is a sensible melancholy for what has been lost and for what will never be, mixed with wanton visions and fullfilment ? carnal love and hate, joy and grief. Tinged with subtle black humor, like a movie of Tinto Brass put into a musical score ? and there's even a song in italian. All the dreamlike masturbatory images in the album-artwork are derived from the lustrous and willing ranks of the Army of Roses and Equilibrium, and yet this is not mere porn or cheap erotica, but divine and infernal eroticism unrestrained. A fire of unhinged desire kindled to a raging flame that ignites and consumes, and that in the end, we are consumed by ? the fire of life.
Sexual magic made manifest, or merely dandy decadence for the an erotic eschatology, or both - you decide. And be that as it may, in the end, this will leave you on the floor to plead and beg for more.

Now we 're reading on Cold Mead Industry sites about problems with cd's boxes and booklets.
Many are you who are waiting for the new Ordo CD. We are very sorry to say it's still being delayed from the factory. Here is the whole story: our usual CD-plant who is Sony DADC in Austria refused the production due to explicit sex for ethical reason - as many may already know ORE sent out a request to their fans to participate in this new album with their private images of their own masturbation - these where sent as photos and movies to the band and from these these images the booklet and the content of the DVD has been made.
So! - we needed to find a CD-plant less focused on censorship - and we find one here in Sweden (of course!). During the time, Tomas of ORE, decided to add 8 private postcard to each box-set, something that not only prooven to be terrible expensive but also very timeconsuming - a never ending handpacking! So therefore, we at this point, don't really know exactly when we will get the boxes! Last week they mentioned a 2 weeks delay.
