But in the shadows lurked another prime purveyor of northern darkness. Formed by Marius Vold (Thorns) & Steinar Sverd Johnsen (Arcturus) in 1989, Mortem was one of the first black metal bands to crawl out of the woodwork in Norway, releasing the highly coveted and brutal ’Slow Death’ demo, with Euronymous & Dead of Mayhem acting as producer and cover artist respectively.
