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, 'Morketid'. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"st__content-block st__content-block--text\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"st__content-block st__content-block--text\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"st__content-block st__content-block--text\"\u003eCondition: New\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"st__content-block st__content-block--text\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"st__content-block st__content-block--text\"\u003eLabel: Peaceville\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Proper","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58363092697475,"sku":"VILELP1297","price":22.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0932\/6872\/files\/Screenshot2026-06-30at12.39.42.png?v=1782819601","url":"https:\/\/beartreerecords.com\/products\/mortem-morketid-lp","provider":"Bear Tree Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
