	Mortiis - Biography - AOL Music
		As the original bassist of Norwegian fl metal pioneers Emperor, Mortiis was credited with stimulating the group's interest in blending furiously chaotic fl metal with haunting synthesizer melodies often based loosely on Norwegian folk, thus laying the groundwork for a sound that would dominate underground metal over the next decade.
		However, for all his impact, Mortiis was only with the group for a very short time; he played on their 1992 Wrath of the Tyrant demo, a split release with Enslaved titled Hordanes Land, and a 7" single, "As the Shadows Rise," but never an official full-length album.
		Mortiis left Emperor rather abruptly in 1993 to pursue a solo career; still only 18 years old, he moved to Halmstad, Sweden, where he formed his own Dark Dungeon label.

	Mortiis - Satan Stole My Teddybear
		Mortiis has taken his fair share of beatings from the internet critics and this is one of those albums that explains why.
		Mortiis is going to tell you a story letting his music and your mind be the storytellers.
		Mortiis even provides constant vocals throughout the album with a voice that reminds me of Mike van Portfleet of Lycia would sound like if he tried to speak his way through a song rather than whisper.

		Yes, Mortiis has lived in the Norwegian mountainsides, surrounded by forests, yes, Mortiis is an unusual character shrouded in mystery, but Mortiis is also a distinct character producing some of the most enigmatic, dark and haunting melodies ever.
		Mortiis is one of music\'s last bastions of real creative genius and unique artistic expression left in a world overthrown by boy bands and false metal angst, offering instead both the visual and musical breath of fresh air that is so redundant in present MTV-dominated musical climates.
		Mortiis isn\'t a freak of nature; he is the embodiment of greatness and exploration most are too scared to discover.

	Mortiis
		Nonetheless, this interview shows Mortiis as a dedicated and hard working musician with firm beliefs and true artistic integrity, with a desire to clarify misconceptions and rumours, and hopefully, succeed in shedding the constrictive skins he has worn (or perhaps never wore) throughout the duration of his career thus far.
		Mortiis: Well, she is one of three different female singers on "The Smell Of Rain," so you may think of somebody else.
		Mortiis: You get to deal with stuff like that, and when they tell you in advance, it’s fine, but some cunts (who either don’t read the riders or just don’t give a fuck) never tells you until you arrive and that can be aggravating as hell.

	Mortiis Reviews at Lunar Hypnosis
		Mortiis’ 1999 effort ‘The Stargate’ is surely one of my most played albums I own and one of those albums that opened me up to an entire world of music I had previously thought to be nonexistent.
		Mortiis even provides the vocals for the album, which are a little strange sounding, but I guess it’s better than the incoherent mumbling he did back on his early efforts.
		Mortiis, the trolly Norwegian one time ambient artist, then medieval music maker, and subsequently darkwave dwarf, has entered era 3, which is probably his most unexpected musical direction thus far.

	Ink 19 :: Mortiis
		In 1992, at the tender age of 18, Mortiis made the seemingly brash move of forever abandoning his bass duties just as Emperor was beginning to make waves with their now-legendary Wrath of the Tyrant demo.
		However, the direction Mortiis as a solo artist would take couldn't have been more shocking at the time to the largely insular, largely close-minded fl-metal scene: sprawling, languorous ambient-keyboard instrumentals at a time, no less, before keyboards became trendy and passe in the scene.
		Essentially, the Mortiis sound is a dark, keyboard-driven, mostly instrumental one, yet there's a rather epic and triumphant quality to all your work.

	Tracks Of Creation: Dark Feature - Mortiis
		Mortiis is one of the heavily classicaly influence bands, and indeed the resulting music would by many just be considered by classical.
		With that said you won't find instruments in Mortiis that are outside the spectrum of what a typical symphony orchestra would use -- of course it is unlikely that Mortiis actually used anything other than a keyboard, but that is beside the point.
		Mortiis is by far one of the most recognized names in the set of dark genres, and is also one of the most likely canditates to introduce many listeners to the genre, those coming from a popular music / classical background at least.

	Mortiis -- An Open Stargate -- April 2000
		Mortiis isn´t really a band, though, it´s sort of a project, where I get some people together when it is needed, which is mostly for shows.
		The philosophy behind Mortiis is used to create this alternative personality inhabiting an alternative world, being the creator and almighty God of this alternative place, and I was the medium through which it displayed itself.
		I wouldn´t call Mortiis all that successful, I am well known, but that doesn´t really mean that we move a million units.

		Moreover, I saw MORTIIS live in London in February (I think) 2002, after the release of “The Smell of Rain” and it was one hell of a show (at a great venue too — the Clink, an old prison).
		MORTIIS and his band then stormed the stage (MORTIIS, as usual, in full troll makeup, his band in an industrial-goth style), and started playing “Broken Skin” from his new album.
		MORTIIS did not communicate very much with the crowd (he didn't communicate much in 2002 when I saw him last either).

	MORTIIS
		Mortiis has carved out a legend for himself that transcends genres and usually brings a lot of misinformation to the table.
		My first encounter with Mortiis arose from what is now referred to as Era:1 which is when Mortiis primarily directed his attention to creating somewhat ambient mood pieces with throws to fantasy and medieval works being the mainstay.
		Mortiis has always sported the trollesque look and quite frankly it is what drew me to listen to these early works in the beginning.

		Mortiis is another of those foreigners I seem to gravitate to, he, being from Norway (I wonder what Norwegians think of him).
		Now Mortiis was the original bassist in the Norwegian mega, death metal group, Emporer of which he exerted enough influence to redirect their energies somewhat, blending chaotic, extreme music with haunting synthesizer melodies often based loosely on Norwegian folk, laying the groundwork for their sound, which would dominate extreme metal over the next decade.
		Mortiis followed Stargate by going in a totally different direction as we discussed with Smell the Rain.

		Mortiis has, in the same way that his image has evolved, continued to push back the musical boundaries that some artists can never hope to achieve.
		Refusing to embrace the norm or current trends, Mortiis is an accomplished artist who stands on his own in a dark, surreal, mystical but yet utopian universe.
		Consequently 'The Smell of Rain' is an album which sees Mortiis simply let out all aspects of his personality, to create his most prolific, personal album to date.
