A passage through the creative psyche of BJ Nilsen and the birth of Morthond, a project that took shape during the winter of 1990. Rooted in the wintry landscapes of its inception, Morthond captures the stark beauty and chilling isolation of the his native Sweden.
The debut album was originally released by Cold Meat Industry's cassette sub-label Sound Source in 1991 and is a portal to the project's formative years. "Death Time" was recorded in a pre-software era on minimal equipment, but treated to maximum effect. A bed of fragile drones lines a set of outerworldly rattling, crashing and scraping Industrial sounds, with alluring melodies, echoing whispers, and spoken word samples among all the bleakness.
"Death Time" remains a testament to the enduring power of BJ Nilsen, who went on to create the lauded ambient project Hazard. This reissue isn't a mere resurrection; it's an invitation to rediscover the essence of Morthond.
