Mortiis, Il Segno del Comando, Freddy Delirio And The Phantoms

Musical Group or Musician

Mortiis is the stage name of Norwegian musician Håvard Ellefsen, known for pioneering dark ambient/dungeon-synth music after leaving the band Emperor; active since the early 1990s.

Former member of Emperor; early Mortiis releases are associated with the Cold Meat Industry scene. 'The Smell Of Rain' is a later Mortiis album referenced in reviews of demo material. The provided split release collects Mortiis demos and tracks by Il Segno del Comando and Freddy Delirio And The Phantoms.

A positive DeBaser review of a split release featuring Mortiis, Il Segno del Comando and Freddy Delirio And The Phantoms. Mortiis' four demo tracks are presented as a missing link toward The Smell Of Rain. Il Segno del Comando and Freddy Delirio offer dark, prog-leaning compositions that complement the release.

For:Fans of dark ambient, death-industrial, dungeon-synth roots, and listeners of dark-prog/prog-metal (fans of Goblin, Jacula, Balletto di Bronzo).

 These songs were created shortly after completing the music for Stargate between late 1997 and early 1998. I was disillusioned by the musical direction and even the sound, what later became known as Era 1, so I made the decision to explore other musical directions, to not self-destruct as an artist. These songs eventually led me down the path of the tracks that later became part of the album “Smell of Rain”. In this sense, it could be said that the demo versions of this album, as raw as they are, are the missing link between Era 1 and everything that came after.
