MORTA SKULD - Dying Remains (30th Anniversary Edition) - LP - Red Vinyl [APR 7]

LP - Limited Edition Red Vinyl. This edition of 'Dying Remains' features the original cover artwork, & is presented on limited red vinyl to mark 30 years of this celebrated death metal beast.

Morta Skuld formed in Milwaukee in 1990, quickly producing two demos before going on to release three albums on Peaceville Records (initially via legendary sub-label Deaf Records) in the early-mid 90's. Many years later & with a new lineup, founder & mainman David Gregor then reunited with Peaceville for the recent opuses 'Wounds Deeper Than Time' & 'Suffer For Nothing', showing that none of the brutal & inspired magic of the band's former years had been lost.

'Dying Remains' was Morta Skuld's debut, released in 1993 & recorded at Cornerstone Studios. Morta Skuld brought a refreshing blend of heavy & brutal death & doom along with occasionally more atmospheric & melodic elements instead of many straight forward high-octane death metal releases prevalent in the US scene at the time. This was an element which helped to distinguish them from many of their peers, establishing the band & leading to shows with such classic acts as Obituary, Death, Deicide, Napalm Death, Fear Factory & Cannibal Corpse.
