Info:

Founded in 1999, Mors principium est was determined to create spine thrilling & agressive yet melodic thrash/death in some what may call 'the gothenburg ' sound. Blending this base sound with more modern influences , samples & crazed guitarsolo's, the base for Mors principium est was set.

Several demos were recorded from the beginning until the band got a recorddeal with listenable records back in 2002, leading to the stellar debut album 'Inhumanity', which got raving reviews in all the major metal press over the world. It was voted album of the month in Canada's BWBK magazine, reached number 10 out of 59 in ROCK HARD 's soundcheck (Germany), 17/20 in HARD ROCK (France), 5/6 in METALIAN France), 13/15 in LEGACY(Germany) among a large amount of extremely positive reactions. It clearly stated the fact that their writing style showed an outstanding band with a bright future. Many a journalist was astonished by the band's virtuosity which rarely appear on a debut album .

Mors principium est continued to surprise friend & foe with their second album 'the unborn', displaying a more mature songwriting and modern elements, fresh rhythmical structures that are quite unexpected to the genre. The band also kept their hard hitting dynamism and still retained the great atmosphere and the flooding amount of catchy hooks and solos appearing on their debut album and that have now become their trademark

Now, 2007... Mors principium est are back to unleash their most lethal & potent release to date to the world. "Liberation = termination" is a showcase and nothing short of a future classic that will convert the masses, there is no escape!
