"This is new Mortiis if you like it or not. I see this album as the GRUDGE Emperor hold/held on Mortiis. That's what I think anyway, but I could be wrong. I really like Mortiis's attitude in general and I'm glad Emperor kicked him out, because if they hadn't he'd still be playing bass for them and may have never had the chance to express his solo ideas such as this and his previous albums. My favourite Mortiis album has to be 'Anden Som Gjorde Oppror' but I like all his work. He has a very natural flow in his music which I find very at home. 'The Grudge' is just as good an album as his ambient albums. I like the idea of having different types of music by the same artist, I wouldn't mind if he changed his style again. Because most people like more than one type of music, so why can't they express that in their music.

When I bought 'The Grudge' cd I noticed that the artwork on the back of the cd case reminded me of a Carcass album and just Carcass in general, but then I realised that this cd is released on Earache like Carcass, so it's probably Earache's art not Mortiis's. I think the artwork that comes with any CD/LP/cassette is very important and should match the music. And even though the artwork reminded me of Carcass, it still works in its own way.

This album is definetely under-rated and should be listened to with open ears.

Can't wait until his next release."

Not verry good.

"Smell Of Rain was a way better record. Grudge is blase, lacking in production, and hardley worth keeping in my CD collection. I hope his next album is beter."
