	botanical.com - A Modern Herbal \| Madder - Herb Profile and Information
		---Description---The stalks of the Madder are so weak that they often lie along the ground, preventing the plant from rising to its maximum height of 8 feet.
		The stalks are prickly, and the whorls of leaves at the joints have spines along the midrib on the underside, a feature that the French turn to advantage by using them for polishing metal-work.
		Upon this arose rapidly a great chemical industry, and the cultivation of Madder has, of course, decreased correspondingly until it may be said that the coaltar products have entirely displaced the natural ones.

		Norway's MADDER MORTEM definitely belong among those artists who only seem truly comfortable with their creative achievements when they fully shatter stylistic barriers, escape from the ordinary in music and manage to keep the listener guessing what will come next, again and again.
		On the other hand, MADDER MORTEM are without hesitation a metal band first and foremost (far off from the typical Gothic posse), one that doesn't leave the songwriting falling apart for the sake of hopeless experimentation or overly-complex soundscapes.
		MADDER MORTEM themselves proclaim the new material to be "heavier and gloomier, but perhaps less schizophrenic" than All Flesh Is Grass but then again, Deadlands is the sort of album that attempts to reach each listener on a very personal level.

		Rose Madder, which does indeed weave itself into King's masterwork (while maintaining its viability as a "stand-alone" novel) is a masterpiece.
		I was personally sick of reading the phrase "Rose Madder" (used to refer to an actual color) around the time I was two thirds of the way through, and some of the symbols he introduces (notably the fox and the tree) are too obscure for even me to understand.
		Unfortunately, King appears to be his own worst enemy at times, and rather than realising simplicity is an endearing trait, he lets his ego get the better of him, and a study of a woman escaping a lifetime of physical and mental abuse becomes a pretentious tale of half baked fantasy and poor character development.
