Morthus - Into Oblivion (EP - 2014) - Bandcamp Stream

BIOGRAPHY

In fall 2011, when founded by Asgharoth Morthus Diaboli (guitar), Hellum Nokthurl Infernalus (bass guitar) and Krypoth (drums), Morthus started writing its first songs. Soon the compositions turned out to be gloomy but melodical, so the band decided to tread the sinister path of melodic black metal. They also looked for a second guitar player and a vocalist to complete the line-up, but this proved difficult.

After several line-up changes (intermediately assisted by Ira / Triebtat and Sethurion a.k.a. Alex / Path of Destiny), Hrafnagud and Kharon Phormeus Inferorum joined Morthus as second guitar player and vocalist. So the band's style changed to blackened melodic death metal.

Until the end of 2013 Morthus wrote up to seven hymns. So the band decided to besiege a record studio for their first Demo EP in early 2014. In summer 2014, after playing several club gigs, 

Morthus recorded four well chosen songs at Nautilus Studio in Gera / Germany. So the EP “Into Oblivion“ was finally self-released on October 22nd in 2014.

But during the studio records, the cooperation between Morthus and Hellum Nokthurl Infernalus was quit because of problems in the bands chemistry. Therefore all bass guitar recordings were 

performed by the producer Florian Rahm (Dubiosis). 

The band also decided to perform upcoming shows without a new full-time bass player until the end of 2014. Soon Florian Rahm (Dubiosis) stepped in as temporary bass player for all upcoming shows and enabled to play further gigs until a permanent substitution is found.
