Mortuary Drape

Musical Group

Mortuary Drape are an Italian black metal band from Alessandria, formed in 1986, known for occult themes, theatrical imagery and a Mediterranean approach to black metal.

The band had been active since 1986, releasing demos and EPs before their official full-length debut All the Witches Dance in 1994. Reviews note influences and echoes of Goblin, Jacula, Mercyful Fate, Celtic Frost, Bathory and early Morbid Angel, and a visual/iconographic debt to Death SS.

Marco Orsi's DeBaser review praises Mortuary Drape's 1994 official debut All the Witches Dance and highlights the band's occult atmosphere and Mediterranean take on black metal. The review cites clear influences (Goblin, Jacula, Mercyful Fate, Celtic Frost, Bathory, early Morbid Angel) and notes the group's activity since 1986 with demos and EPs before the full-length. Overall recommendation: listen to All the Witches Dance.

For:Fans of occult-tinged black metal, listeners interested in Italian metal history and theatrical metal acts.

 The Alessandrian Mortuary Drape do not hail from Alexandria, Egypt, but in a certain sense, it's as if they are inhabitants of those lands.
