Additional notes
Mortiis was formerly the bassist and primary lyricist for Emperor in the early '90s. He formed this band the day after he parted ways with Emperor because he wasn't into black metal anymore.
Mortiis' music is generally seen as being divided into three distinct eras: darkwave/dungeon synth on all '90s releases, darkwave/synthpop on The Smell of Rain, and industrial rock from The Grudge onwards. In 2020, Spirit of Rebellion saw a return to the darkwave style, now commonly referred to as dungeon synth.
Their song "Parasite God" appears in the game Earache: Extreme Metal Racing.
