About Mordicus

Mordicus started off in 1990 and their first two demos "Abominations of the earth" (recorded early 1991) and "Grown under shade of sorrow" (June 1991) contained sick, brutal and fast death metal with catchy guitar melodies and riffs and double vocal delivery. These demos demonstrated the early style of Mordicus which was more grindcore influenced death metal combined with some heavy metal elements. First demo was recorded on four-track recorder and the sound was really awful. The second one ”Grown under shade of sorrow” was a much more better attempt recordingwise. It also received critical acclaim by the underground Metal press, tapetraders and any other underground media of the time.

Soon after the release Mordicus was approached by several underground record labels and as a result the "Three way dissection" 7"EP was released by the American record label Skindrill Records in 1992 (a sub brand of Seraphic Decay Records). For this release three songs from ”Grown under shade of sorrow” demo were remixed with new vocals by Robert.

Their 1992 promo tape brought them to the attention of the French record label Thrash Records, which released the Mordicus' first full lenght album "Dances from left" in 1993. This was a pure death metal release containing ten songs with fast and brutal guitars, memorable melodies and double growling vocals. It was recorded in the well-known Tico-tico studios by Ahti Kortelainen and the band was very satisfied with the end result as the recording sounded really heavy and tight and the album was well accepted by the press and audience. Slight elements from heavy metal or whatever non-deathmetal could also be traced in this release since most of the songs on this album were new ones with the exception three tracks that were originally recorded on their Promo 1992 and the infamous closing piece ”Christcide” that first appeared on their very first demo tape.

Towards the end of 1993 the US label Wild Rags Records released the promo 1992 on cassette EP format, giving it the title "Wrathorn".

During Mordicus' short history the band progressed and their sound changed from release to release, and in 1994 the band members felt that it was time to move on to a new direction. With the addition of Aapi the new bass player and Robert concentrating only vocal delivery some hardcore and thrash elements were added to the Mordicus music. The first promotional tape with this new five-piece line-up was recorded in 1995.

In August 1999 Mordicus joined forces once more with producer/engineer Kimmo Perkkiö to record three new songs on tape. Yperano Records from UK was impressed and offered them a recording deal. Mordicus recorded in the Headcase and East-Voice studios a selection of 15 songs, that would have been featured in their second full length album. The album's mastering took place at the Finnvox studios in Helsinki. There was delays in releasing the album and some time after finishing with the album, the band felt like it's time was over because of the lack of motivation and quietly disbanded. Heikki and Jani formed Scalping Screen, and Isto later joined forces with Helsinki based Demolisher. ”Disintegration groove” album has not been released until this date.

In 2006 Temple of Darkness Records contact with the band again, for a new recording deal, re-issue the mythic “Dances from Left” in CD and LP version, with extra tracks from the old demos and the “Three way Dissection” EP. Band agree the deal and both are working together with do the best product, with excellent quality sound, add old photos to the original artwork, etc. Re-issue of this 1993 death metal classic will be released sometimes early 2007.
