Thoughts: I have an admission. I did not know about this album for a long time. The only Mortiis album's that I had in my old CD collections were the debut, Crypt of the Wizard and The Stargate. Several of his other releases never hit my radar until the past decade. It's been a wonderful journey of rediscovery.
Mortiis' music has been an absolute joy to rediscover decades after I first listened to it. After getting back into dungeon synth a few years ago and diving deeper into the genre, finding the early 90's albums again has been one of the highlights of my musical journey - in any time frame.
In the case of Keiser... these epics are a bit more defined than the debut or the demo. Smaller concepts of melodies and moments that are stitched together to create two long epics. The individual components are great to listen to on their own, but as the overall composition progresses it's amazing to hear how the music compliments and builds on itself.
In a lot of ways I'm sad I missed this one when it first came out, but at the same time I would have missed the experience of hearing it for the first time here and now. Either way this is now in my collection and will now remain there forever more.
