The Death Ballads

by Mortifero

supported by

Ippocalyptica It takes a lot for modern music other than death and black metal to really grab my attention, but Mortifero has done just that with her fairly minimalist approach to neo-folk that is elevated by her ethereal vocal performance. This EP is strong in and of itself, but more than anything, it makes me quite curious to hear how the debut full-length album will further explore these dark sonic avenues. Quite the Sunday delight to help nurse a savage Saturday hangover! Favorite track: Battle Cry.

about

MORTIFERO is a spiritual acoustic band from Groningen / The Netherlands, formed in 2020. Their style is Dark Folk in the vein of King Dude, Lana Del Rey, Death in June and a plethora of other country and Neo-Folk bands. Their sound has been described as mesmerizing with female vocals, acoustic guitars and bass, compelling and atmospheric. The lyrical themes are inspired by subjects such as death, murder, occultism, witchcraft and folklore.

The group was founded by vocalist, lyricist and principal songwriter Mortifero. She is also the live bassist for Asagraum and Standvast and has done guest vocals for bands such as Grá, Uuntar and Elfsgedroch. Nortfalke (bass/percussion) and Neer (guitar) were asked to join the group for live shows but are also currently writing songs for a full-length album together with Mortifero.

Can we also praise Fyrnask for putting this album out without a minimum price set? And of course buy it for more than €1! Fcking great album. You guys are in your own league. No favorite song. Enjoy the whole album and as a tip: play the track list backwards once in while. sirius1234

A real stunner here. I love the immersion so much. Black metal with a really involved story line aspect. All the sounds coming out are just great all around. And Killer riffs, broad, pounding black metal goodness for the masses. Aaoka Ai
