Sometime in 1993 Inch and Sharp founded the formation
"Sadistic Hate". A year later the original cast has changed and it has been
decided to give the band a new name. Mortus, with Thomson - vocals, Jay
- bass, Inch - guitar, Sharp - guitar and Crack - drums, was born. In
1995 we contributed 2 songs to a Sampler with a cross-section through
the music - scene of Linz. Still in the same year we signed a contract
with CCP-Records and published our Mini-CD "Hopeless" in spring 96. It
was a real Old School Death Metal - Crusher. Two years after we made our
debut our first Longplayer faced earth's light. "The Beat of Greed" was
positioned close by the predecessor, concerning the music, but it was
matured and the velocity has been decreased. A year later, Sharp has
chucked in his guitar to have more time for his other hobbies. We needed a
new string-artist to fill our gap. A real lucky chance was the joint of
Dominik, in '99. He was really a good guy and his playing abili!
ties were great. Since then, he played all lead- and sologuitars.
Originally, we wanted to bring out a new album at the beginning of the new
millennium, but that was delayed for a while because of some personal
things. In July 2001 we entered the Studio of CCP Records to ban
"Exploring New Horizons" on sound-carrier. We digested a lot of things,
happened in the 4 years before. Unfortunately, Dominik got out of the Band
because he has too many projects in which he could better follow his own
way to self realization. From this point we carried on with only 4
members. It was surprising, but the songwriting was easier than before.
Perhaps the reason was that we felt like we have dropped all ballast and we
are now able to focus actual topics. In June, our new album "Leaving
The Swamps" will be published and we believe that we can be proud it. We
made a step forward with this album, again.
