Biography

Pori, Finland (1999 – present)

Mors Principium Est is a melodic death metal band from Pori, Finland.

In the beginning, back in the year 1999 in Pori, Finland, Mors Principium Est was established by the three founding members Jori, Jarkko and Toni. Percussion instruments were missing, but later in the same year Mikko joined the band to play the drums. Jori was playing lead guitar and vocals, Jarkko guitar and Toni keyboards. The band played for a while with this set, but in the beginning of year 2000 Jori got tired of singing and wanted to concentrate only in guitar. A new singer was thus needed. Meanwhile Ville Viljanen had just left his old band and was looking for something new. He contacted the band and after an audition he became the new vocalist.

The first demo was made without a bass-player, and when Listenable Records expressed interest in the band, it became neccessary to find someone able to fulfill that role. In the year 2001 Teemu joined the band as the bass-player. Two more demos and few gigs were made and finally the hard work got rewarded. 2002 Listenable Records offered contract and the band signed a contract for 3 albums.

The debut album “Inhumanity” was recorded & mixed by Ahti Kortelainen in Finland at Tico-Tico Studios, in December 2002 and mastered at Finnvox Studios, in January 2003. Album was released at spring 2003.

    Really getting "The Jester Race" (In Flames) sound in the guitars though for that cover. It's absolutely amazing, one of the best covers I've heard.

    Hahaha, it's definitely good. I previously hadn't heard the original track before (i don't think it's a common Backstreet Boys cover) but MPE makes it sound good.

    You see, that's how little I know about pop music. I didn't even realise 'The Call' was even a Backstreet Boys cover. It just sounds too good to have ever been a pop song.

    HAHAHAHAHA!! The Call is now the most metal song ever made, MPE even threw in a solo so many lulz. I even checked out the original.

    Some of the guitar tone in the song "The Call" reminds me of old In Flames. It's awesome, not bad for a bonus track.

    "Formshifter" is good too, but it is slightly different genre. Like 'em both, and And Death Said Live is so magnificent

    Anyone listen to Hateform yet? I believe it's some members from MPE and it is like a more thrashy version of Mors. One of the best albums of 2013 so far.
