In the beginning there was black metal. The artist Håvard Ellefsen known as the musical entity MORTIIS started out as a bass player in and during the formation of EMPEROR in 1991 and 1992. He is credited on the “Wrath of the Tyrant” demo/album (1992), the “Emperor” EP (1993), and the 1994 7″ EP “As the Shadows Rise”.


After parting ways with the Norwegian black metal pioneers, MORTIIS embarked on a solo career, the so called ‘Era I’, that lasted from 1993 until 1999. In this highly creative period, the Norwegian released six full-length albums (including the “The Song of a Long Forgotten Ghost” demo and “Crypt of the Wizard”). His music during this phase was entirely composed on synthesizers. The resulting sound was described by MORTIIS as ‘dark dungeon music’ and has been named as a fundamental influence on the later dungeon synth genre. On “The Stargate” (1999), the last album of this era, a wider range of instruments was implemented as well as additional vocals from Sarah Jezebel Deva.
