'Deadlands' is a fine blend of the best of goth and progressive metal, with technical riffing and soothing melodic passages finely woven together in Madder Mortem's own unmistakable style. The album contains a darker, more groove-oriented approach than on previous albums, topped with Agnete Kirkevaag's beautifully expressive, often angst-ridden vocals. This re-issue features extensive liner notes written by Agnete, & includes a bonus song taken from Madder Mortem's 1997 demo, which was developed into album track 'Resonatine'.
