Dungeon synth master Mortiis will tour the US with support by Brighter Death Now, Sombre Arcane (Sept 4-17), Malfet (Sept 14-28), and appearances by Fogweaver.
Not many unsigned bands have a full-length CD and DVD. The music is a mixture of Gwar and the Misfits, and the homage to horror movies is a cut above camp.
This falls somewhere between Gothic and industrial music. There is always something familiar about each song, yet there are elements to make it unique.
Oh dear Mortiis, what hath thou wrought? Where are your Dungeons & Dragons soundtracks of yore? Why dost thou seek the path of Metropolis Records music?
Amidst the clanging and clutter of black/death/doom/industrial/ambient/darkwave music, one figure stands alone. His name, as far as most of us know, is Mortiis.
Looking for the perfect music to listen to while role-playing? If you are, Mortiis’ fourth album, regally entitled Emperor of a Dimension Unknown, is for you.
