Mortiis
Anden Som Gjorde Oppror
This album, recorded in 1994, dates from what is known as "Era 1" in Mortiis' evolution, when he focused on creating epic synth tracks that evoked images of desolate landscapes and eerie atmospheres. Mortiis' music was a huge departure from the black metal scene he was largely involved in during his mid-teens, yet it retained a dark ambience that still appealed to the black metal elite, as well as fans of more experimental music and the gothic crowd. Taking a cue from experimental/progressive acts like Tangerine Dream, Mortiis threw typical song structures to the wayside in favour of synth-laden soundscapes, of a length and grandeur that would limit this album to just two long tracks. Originally released on CD on Cold Meat Industry in 1995.
