Before Arcturus there was Mortem. Originally of members now known from Arcturus, Mayhem & Thorns, Mortem was a leading act of the early Norwegian underground metal scene. Special release of Slow Death reworked in a style more akin to the recent Ravnsvart album material, plus also includes the legendary pioneering 1989 demo itself, from a new tape source. The new recordings also include a rendition of the old Mortem track Satanas, a cover of Likferd (Funeral Fog) by Mayhem, sung in Norwegian. Joining the original line-up of Marius, Steinar & Hellhammer is Tor Seidemann of 1349 on bass guitar. Including an extended biography on the history of the band, plus rare and unseen images. 2 CD.
