ok ok, I know. Mortiis is not really black metal anymore. Actually not at all xD But I need to go back now, time travelling to the year 2004.
That was the year he came to Jyväskylä and I went with some friends of mine to see him. Black metal fans surely know who he is, he was a member of Emperor, their main lyricist and bassist. He wrote all lyrics for their first EP. He departed from the band before they would go on their first small tour around Britain (and before shit hit the fan with Samoth and Faust). He started his own project, dark dungeon music.
I still think that he actually has bigger balls than many people in the scene, just because he gave no single shit about trends and did his own thing. Respect! After many albums in synth dominated dungeon music he turned towards industrial music and nowadays is again active.
So yea, I was at a friends place and she was playing Mortiis and I asked who that is and she told me to check out Mortiis albums The Grudge and Smell of Rain. I was totally in love. I regret that I didn't listen to his older stuff back then! But alas, I didn't.
She also told me about the upcoming concert and I went there and it was one of the best shows I've been to :D I remember being in front and having a really great time.
Those pics are actually from that show, I took them with an old crappy camera :D Good times at Lutakko! Finally now in 2016 I got the Mortiis tattoo I always wanted. Mortiis will forever be my most beloved Norwegian musician and nothing can change that.
Everyone leaves. In the end. Everything dies. In the end.
