Mortemia is a Norwegian gothic metal one-man band created in 2009 by Morten Veland, the founder of Tristania and Sirenia.[1]

History[]

On 6 July 2009 the band announced it had signed with Napalm Records.[1]

The band's first album, titled Misere Mortem, was released in February 2010.[2] A song from the album, "The One I Once Was", was made available on the band's MySpace page on 17 January 2010.[3] The album was recorded at Veland's Audio Avenue Studios in Stavanger, Norway and Sound Suite Studios in France.[3] It was produced, engineered and mixed by Veland himself.[3]

On 20 April 2021, it had been announced that Mortemia will release a series of new songs as part of the EP The Pandemic Pandemonium Sessions, through Morten Veland's new record label, called Veland Music, for digital download. The musical concept is more melodic and diverse than the previous album, featuring several female guest vocalists in each song instead of the characteristic symphonic choir.

The first one, called "The Enigmatic Sequel", which features Madeleine Liljestam from the Swedish symphonic metal band Eleine, came out on 14 May 2021.[4] The second one, called "Death Turns a Blind Eye", which features Marcela Bovio from the Dutch symphonic death metal band MaYaN, came out on 18 June 2021.[5] A third song titled, "The Hour of Wrath", which features Alessia Scoletti from the Italian power metal band Temperance was released on 23 July 2021.[6] On 10 September 2021, Mortemia released a fourth song called "Decadence Deepens Within", featuring Liv Kristine.[7]
