{"product_id":"mtemmork00-cd","title":"Morketid - CD","description":"THE SECOND STUDIO ALBUM FROM THE NORWEGIAN EXTREME METAL PIONEERS, COMPRISING MEMBERS OF ARCTURUS, THORNS, MAYHEM \u0026amp; 1349.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nPRESENTED ON CD FORMAT.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nMortem was originally known as the Norwegian cult band which preceded Arcturus. 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.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nIt 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.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nAnd 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.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\n‘Mørketid’ was recorded at Toproom Studio in Norway, by Børge Finnstad \u0026amp; Kevin Kleiven. This edition of ‘Mørketid’ is presented on CD format, with 12-page booklet.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nDISC 1\u003cbr\u003e\r\n1. Morketid (06:04)\u003cbr\u003e\r\n2.
