Originally comprised of members now known from such classic bands as Arcturus, Mayhem \u0026amp; 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 \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. 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. This special release of ‘Slow Death’ contains the tracks newly recorded \u0026amp; 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 \u0026amp; Hellhammer is Tor Seidemann of 1349 on bass guitar. Presented on double CD, the release also includes an extended biography on the history of the band, plus rare \u0026amp; unseen images.
