〕 death metal〔 | years_active = | label = The Ajna Offensive | associated_acts = | website = | current_members = | past_members = }} Mortuus are a Swedish black/death metal band. Mortuus recorded the 7” ''Silence Sang the Praise of Death'' which was released by The Ajna Offensive in 2005. The members “decided to put the project to death after the seven-inch was recorded, but a new desire to express ourselves through this medium grew – and thus we ‘re-formed’ the band (even though it never will be a band in the traditional sense)”, as stated in an interview posted by The Ajna Offensive. The interview was followed by the album ''De contemplanda morte (De reverencie laboribus ac adorationis)'', “a concept album dealing with Death ascension (from the deeps of the qliphoth to the very heart of Death)”,〔 which The Ajna Offensive released in 2007. == Musical style == The band’s single included a description of Mortuus as being “the primitive expression”. A member of the band stated that “Mortuus is really primitive music-wise. It is not due to lack of musical knowledge or technique, but because we like it that way. The lyrics and ideas expressed through our lyrics are often very complex, but they are still channeled through a very primitive but effective medium.” According to the band, “()here are many differences between the ep and the album, but the essence and atmosphere are the same”.〔 According to Eduardo Rivadavia, “although their music positively drips at all times with black metal's incomparably oppressive ambiance, sinister sounds, and deeply occult and nihilistic lyrical themes, the interesting thing about Mortuus is that their typical songs (e.g. ‘Penetrations of Darkness,’ ‘Constant Descent of Seraphim,’ etc.) actually feature ponderous pacing, lengthy guitar chords, and echoing growls reminiscent of death metal and doom. Even when they do make way for some momentary blastbeat and speed-picking activity, smashing into the rubble of their creations with the rage and force of a typhoon, other cuts like ‘Astral Pandemonium,’ ‘Illumination of God’ and ‘Rebirth in the Sterile Triad of Six,’ astonishingly remain prevalently focused on lengthy, dread-filled funeral dirges.” 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mortuus」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
