Formed by Marius Vold \u0026amp; Steinar Sverd Johnsen in 1989, Mortem was one of the first black metal bands to crawl out of the woodwork in Norway, releasing the highly coveted \u0026amp; brutal 'Slow Death' demo, with Euronymous \u0026amp; Dead of Mayhem acting as producer \u0026amp; cover artist respectively (whilst also featuring Hellhammer on session drums). After the release of 'Slow Death', the band was laid to rest, with members going on to form \u0026amp; feature in acclaimed titans such as Arcturus \u0026amp; Thorns, both of which would become mainstays in the black metal scene \u0026amp; beyond. It wasn't until 2019, when Mortem's studio debut 'Ravnsvart' was released, \u0026amp; the magic of old undoubtedly returned with that same spirit \u0026amp; brutality of the original incarnation, whilst injecting new elements to form an opus of ferocious yet atmospheric horror. This was followed soon after by the fully re-recorded \u0026amp; re-worked 'Slow Death' tracks. And now Mortem returns with new ode to the dark, 'Mørketid'. The album presents an expansion \u0026amp; marked progression over the debut, with brooding mid-paced monumental riffs interspersed with periods of hyperspeed black metal. The album presents eight tracks of savage yet eerie \u0026amp; also often epic Black Metal of the highest order, adorned with the indomitable keyboard textures of Sverd, along with Hellhammer's unmistakable percussive prowess, \u0026amp; the returning vicious snarls of vocalist Marius Vold. 'Mørketid' was recorded at Toproom Studio in Norway, by Børge Finnstad \u0026amp; Kevin Kleiven. This edition of 'Mørketid' is presented on limited Oxblood coloured vinyl.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Morketid (06:04) \u003cbr\u003e1.2 The Mighty Odius (04:43) \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Skyggeand (07:34) \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Blodvassen Grunn (05:44) \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Aftermath (04:09) \u003cbr\u003e1.6 Den Sanne Gud (05:22) \u003cbr\u003e1.7 Morkets Ormebol (05:52) \u003cbr\u003e1.8 Ditt Odes Aere (05:10)\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Mortem","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42766169210951,"sku":"46256140","price":36.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2976\/0132\/files\/4513574-3594253.jpg?v=1778530842","url":"https:\/\/tower.com\/products\/mortem-morketid-140gm-oxblood-vinyl-vinyl-lp","provider":"Tower Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
