More Info
Morta Skuld formed in Milwaukee in 1990, quickly producing two demos before
going on to release three albums on Peaceville Records (initially via legendary
sub-label Deaf Records) in the early-mid 90's. Many years later & with a new lineup, founder & mainman David Gregor then reunited with Peaceville for the recent
opuses 'Wounds Deeper Than Time' & 'Suffer For Nothing', showing that none of
the brutal & inspired magic of the band's former years had been lost.
'Dying Remains' was Morta Skuld's debut, released in 1993 & recorded at
Cornerstone Studios. Morta Skuld brought a refreshing blend of heavy & brutal
death & doom along with occasionally more atmospheric & melodic elements
instead of many straight forward high-octane death metal releases prevalent in
the US scene at the time. This was an element which helped to distinguish them
from many of their peers, establishing the band & leading to shows with such
classic acts as Obituary, Death, Deicide, Napalm Death, Fear Factory & Cannibal
Corpse.
