Biography

Norway (1993 – present)

Madder Mortem is a female fronted progressive doom metal band. It was formed in 1993 in Norway under the name Mystery Tribe.
In the beginning Madder Mortem was formed in 1993 as Mystery Tribe, and recorded the demo “Days in Sorrow”. The name was changed to Madder Mortem, and in January 1997, the MCD “Misty Sleep” was recorded. The result was mailed around, Misanthropy Records reacted and the debut “Mercury” (X-ray Studios) was released in February 1999. “Mercury” was well received, but sadly, Misanthropy decided to close down, which left the Madders with neither company nor contract.

In 1999 Christian Ruud (guitars), Boye Nyberg (bass) and Sigurd Nielsen (drums) left the band to pursue educations and other pastimes.
This was naturally a setback, but after some time Agnete and BP found new musicians. Eirik Ulvo Langnes (guitars), Pål Mozart Bjørke (bass) and Mads Solås (drums) joined the band. All former acquaintances, the new members fitted in perfectly.
In December 1999 Century Media got in touch. The Madders promptly got to work, and in January 2000 a new demo was recorded (Space Valley Studios). This demo, containing three of the “AFIG” songs, saw the Madders turn in a new and heavier direction. Century Media received this demo exclusively and Madder Mortem became a CMR band. Madder Mortem’s second album, “All flesh is grass” (Studio Underground, Sweden) was released in February 2001, with cover art from former guitar player Christian Ruud. Reviews were very good, and the aggressive and driven music lent another face to Madder Mortem.

    ''We're looking for a new, permanent guitar player with broad musical tastes, but with roots in rock/metal. We're finishing our 6th album now, but we'd love to have a guitarist that wants to contribute creatively on the next album. You should be ok with playing a 7-string guitar and learning our back catalogue. We rehearse in Odalen, approx. 1,5 hours north of Oslo''. Ok fellas, somebody help them, i want new music.

    World is really a weird place. Madder Mortem has all properties to be an music icon, and still after years they are practically unknown. Anyone who will stumble to here, know, this is an outstanding music, I've listened to a lot of things, and I can claim and prove it. This music needs to be listened.
