Trondheim, Norway (1992 – 2005)
The 3rd and the Mortal is an experimental band from Trondheim, Norway since 1992. The band started out as a doom metal band mixing distorted guitars and heavy drumming with clean guitars and female vocals from Kari Rueslåtten. The band has since then experimented with genres such as ambient, progressive rock, jazz, electronica and trip-hop.
The 3rd and the Mortal were one of the forerunners of the atmospheric metal scene having been one of the first to have a leading female singer, they inspired bands such as The Gathering, Flowing Tears and Nightwish. Their first EP Sorrow was released in 1993 followed by the album Tears Laid in Earth in 1994. After Rueslåtten’s departure in 1995 the band had Ann-Mari Edvardsen join as vocalist. With her the band released full length albums Painting on Glass in 1996 and explored an even more experimental sound in 1997 with In This Room.
After an absence of 5 years and the departure of Edvardsen, the band returned in 2002 with Memoirs, an album with recordings made during previous years. A new female vocalist was found in Kirsti Huke, who is present on the majority of songs, with second vocalist Andreas Elvenes backing her up on a couple of tracks. Memoirs differs from previous albums by being more electronics based and trip-hop influenced. After Memoirs the band did a small tour in september and october 2002, playing eight shows in Germany and one in the Netherlands.

@GlobeOfMoon "Good evening, Mr. Q!" comes from their Trip-hop sounding album (Memoirs). Why do you tag everything as goth, dammit?

I meant underrated OUTSIDE the underground and outside the circle followers of course. Even for most Metal and Goth enthusiasts; jeez. I remember have listened the Sorrow EP back in 1994 when I was about 15, the sound was deeper and darker than any Black Metal band, one of those life changing experiences. And Tears... just left behind any other Doom Metal successors which just opt to be a Paradigma clone.
