---------
Before Arcturus there was Mortem. Originally comprised of members now known from such classic bands as Arcturus, Mayhem & Thorns, Mortem was a leading act of the early Norwegian underground metal scene; their ‘Slow Death’ demo a highly inspirational work of early Norwegian extreme metal.
Formed by Marius Vold & 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 and brutal ‘Slow Death’ demo, with Euronymous & Dead of Mayhem acting as producer and cover artist respectively. After the release of ‘Slow Death’, the band was laid to rest with members going on to form and feature in acclaimed titans such as Arcturus and Thorns, both of which would become mainstays in the black metal scene and beyond.
This special release of ‘Slow Death’ contains the tracks newly recorded and reworked in a style more akin to the recent ‘Ravnsvart’ album material, plus also includes the legendary pioneering 1989 demo itself, with a fresh transfer from a new tape source. The new recordings also include a rendition of the old Mortem track ‘Satanas’, plus a cover of ‘Likferd’ (Funeral Fog) by Mayhem, this time sung in Norwegian. Joining the original line-up of Marius, Steinar & Hellhammer is Tor Seidemann of 1349 on bass guitar.
Bringing together members of Arcturus, Mayhem, Thorns, and 1349 for a masterwork of haunting Black Metal, Peaceville proudly presents the 2019 debut studio album of the reformed Norwegian legends Mortem.

“Inside The Unreal” by Electrocution was one of the first and most famous old school death metal albums released in Italy in 1993. Reissued several times through the years, this version is a 2CD edition with all the demos and eps released by the band before the debut. The booklet has been redesigned with new liner notes. This 2CD version has only been released once, by Dark Symphonies in 2017, and it is now sold-out and difficult to find.
A relentless attack made of tight tempos, primitive growls and thrashy riffing, “Inside The Unreal” is considered a minor-classic of the death metal sound of the early nineties.
"Seid" is the third studio album of norwegian black metallers KVALVAAG.
It`s more aggressive but at the same time more diverse and unpredictable than our previous albums
The unmistakable style of the Norwegian duo will take you in very cold atmospheres, impetuous rides and clearly epic parts. The atmosphere reminds the previous Malum album, but there is a lot more going on at all times. Haunting atmospheric touches and violent rhythmic elements produce something far bleaker and more unsettling than anything else.
Kvalvaag has this to say about the new album:
"When I started working on the new material, I wanted to surpass our previous work in every way possible. Much more time, effort and better equipment were used compared to our earlier works this time.
We also received financial support from "Norsk fond for utøvende kunstnere" who gave us the ability to give the album the production it deserved.
It was awesome working with Tom Kvalsonic as he is the man behind the sound of many of the albums we grew up with. He completely understood our vision and significantly raised the quality of the album. I feel we have successfully raised the bar as high as possible this time. We had to evolve a lot as musicians to be able to perform our parts during the recording. It has been a educational journey with a lot of hard work and technical challenges in the studio, but I am really satisfied with the end result and our musical progression".
