Mork’s Rota Til Ondskap is a collection of raw, unfiltered demo tracks that pay homage to the pioneers of Norwegian black metal. Originally recorded in 2007, these early and primal works capture the formative stages of Thomas Eriksen’s creative vision for Mork, embodying the raw energy and atmosphere that would define the band’s sound.
Previously available only on vinyl and bootleg CD release, Rota Til Ondskap now sees its first official CD release through Peaceville. Drawing inspiration from black metal icons, Eriksen’s compositions channel the spirit of the genre’s early days. The release is characterised by his distinctive take on black metal riffing, twisted melodic passages and an atmosphere of thick, hellish chaos.
