Mordeth have cultivated one of the most idiosyncratic voices in Brazilian extreme metal since the early 1990s, blending dissonant death metal with progressive structures and a persistent fascination with science fiction, futurism, and existential philosophy. Their debut "Lux In Tenebris" (1993) established the blueprint, and after a long hiatus the band returned with "The Unknown Knows" (2018) and "Hermetic Creation" (2025), both of which continued to push their sound into increasingly dense and conceptually ambitious territory.

A black metal act from Norrköping with roots dating to 1997, Mordgrim is one of Östergötland's veteran black metal projects. The band delivers cold, aggressive compositions with the authority of nearly three decades.
