Biography

Håvard Ellefsen, often referred to as Mortiis, is the only constant band member. He was born in Skien, Telemark. Mortiis began his musical career playing bass for the black metal act Emperor. He stayed with the band just over 1 year before going on to create his own solo project, though unlike his previous band the music would be dark ambient oriented. Ellefsen was experimenting greatly with music during his early solo career. He started four separate projects, though the focus was always on Mortiis.

    Lyrics
    I'm going back, thinking about all the changes.
    I'm going back to all those wasted years.
    I see the rise and fall of the world I lived in.
    This time it doesn't seem real at all.
    But I took the fall and on came all the changes.

    Lyrics
    I have been here for too long.
    In this lonesome twisted land.
    Marshland...
    It is deep and sickening.
    I have to find my way back home.

    Lyrics
    Go away from me.
    I just want to flee.
    The god i used to be.
    Fill me no more with glee.
    Where am I now?

    Lyrics
    It's been ten long years since I smelled the witch.
    I don't think she will ever go away.
    Do you think that's her lurking over there?
    In that shadow that has been cast by me?
    Can you smell the witch?

    Lyrics
    Dancing round the burning fire.
    Calling out the names of the dead.
    Chanting all your dark desires.
    As you stick your pins in my head.
    Painted faces all around me.
