Background information über 'The 3rd And The Mortal'

This is where it all began for Norway's most enigmatic atmospheric metal pioneers. The 3rd And The Mortal's self-titled demo from 1993 captures the raw essence of a band that would go on to influence countless artists in the atmospheric and experimental metal scenes. Recorded at Trøndertun in Trondheim - the same studio where Thorns' legendary first demo was created - these four tracks showcase the band's unique approach to blending doom metal's crushing weight with ethereal female vocals and progressive elements. The production may be rawer than their later works, but the timeless songwriting and Kari Rueslåtten's enchanting soprano vocals create an atmosphere of melancholic otherworldliness that still gives you chills today.

What makes this demo so special is how it established the blueprint for what would become a globally embraced formula. While Norwegian black metal was reaching its notorious peak, The 3rd And The Mortal dared to walk a completely different path, carving out their own niche with complex compositions drenched in heavy reverb layers. The bonus track "Autopoema" recorded during the same sessions but never included on the original demo, makes its first appearance here - a real treat for longtime fans and newcomers alike. This remastered edition by Patrick W. Engel at Temple of Disharmony brings new life to these foundational tracks while preserving their haunting, atmospheric qualities.

For fans of:
My Dying Bride, Theatre of Tragedy, Draconian, Sirenia and Tristania
