The iconic Norwegian artist Mortiis has signed a multi-album deal with Prophecy Productions. Its next studio album will be released via the label in 2025.
Mortiis comments: "After many years of existing on the fringes of the music industry, doing things my way and on my own, I am excited to be teaming up with Prophecy Productions, a label of creativity and vision. I think my upcoming album will have a good home there".
In the beginning, there was black metal. The artist Håvard Ellefsen, known as the musical entity Mortiis, started as a bass player for Emperor in 1991, credited on the Wrath Of The Tyrant demo/album (1992), the Emperor EP (1993), and the 1994 7" EP As The Shadows Rise.
After parting ways with the Norwegian black metal pioneers, Mortiis embarked on a solo career that offered a wide stylistic range of sounds and never proved predictable and has resisted any attempt to be pigeon-holed. A glimpse into some of the many collaborations on this album might provide some hints: Among many others, the upcoming full-length features Thorsten Quaeschning (Tangerine Dream), Christopher Amott (Black Earth, formerly Arch Enemy), and Matthew Setzer (Skinny Puppy). Well, everybody will have to wait and see until his forthcoming new album gets revealed in 2025. Link
