Arditi is made up of H. Möller and M. Björkman, who havepreviously participated in Puissance and Algaion. While Puissancemay be associated with black metal and Algaion was indeed a blackmetal band, there is hardly anything on "Standards Of Triumph" thatcould be connected with what is commonly thought of as black metal-- there are no electric guitars or distorted vocals to be heard.Nevertheless, the album, and especially the likes of "Deathmarch"or "Legionaries", might still appeal to some black metal fans.Arditi mix industrial and neo-classical soundscapes with a strongmilitaristic feel, using only samples and synths. This martialcomponent should by no means be played down here: it is at the verycore of Arditi's compositions and sound. (As a side note, Arditiwas the name given to some elite divisions of the Italian armyduring the first World War.) When the more militaristic approachrelents for a while, it is usually replaced by a more apocalyptictone, as in the leaden "The Absolute Essence" or the funereal "Veerand Perish", bringing welcome variety to the album. Overall,"Standards Of Triumph" succeeds not only in creating the compulsorydense atmosphere required for their musical objectives, but also inkeeping the listener interested and immersed in their compositions,and should therefore provide a nice break from metal for mostlisteners.
