Madder Mortem

Madder Mortem sign with Dark Essence Records; new album coming later this year

Dark Essence Records have today announced that they have added Norwegian alternative metallers Madder Mortem to their roster. The label is set to release the band's sixth full length album, titled 'Red in Tooth and Claw', later this year, on a date as yet to be announced.

Formed in 1993, originally under the name of Mystery Tribe, Madder Mortem's music, with its hauntingly beautiful vocals by Agnete M. Kirkevaag, is atmospheric and melodic, with a very definite progressive leaning, but at the same time the band can show an underlying aggression that gives their sound a harder, more driven edge than one might expect. Aside from Agnete, Madder Mortem's five-member lineup includes BP. M. Kirkevaag on guitar and vocals, Richard Wikstrand on guitars, Tormod L. Moseng on bass and Mads Solås on drums.
