A legend across several music genres, Mortiis kicks off his headline tour of North America tonight! North American tour starts this week! A leading force and founder of the dungeon synth sub-genre is embarking on a 10-date trek from Thursday, March 28th to Sunday April 7th 2019, including a stop headlining the Northeast Dungeon Siege Fest. Mortiis is celebrating twenty years of this current arc of his career (Era 1) which he explains below. He has also launched a new video for the song ‘Visions of an Ancient Future’ which is taken from his forthcoming album ‘Spirit Of Rebellion’. The video was directed and produced by Finnish filmmaker Ari Savonen who is known for his work for ‘Takapihan Pojat: Joulutarina’ (2011), ‘Törkypukki vol. 2’ (2016) and ‘Backwood Madness’ (2019).
Mortiis commented on the tour:
“It’s been almost 20 years since I toured the US under the Era 1 version of Mortiis, so it seems like it’s about time to do it again. I’ve been traveling around Europe and parts of the rest of the world, performing the re-invented ‘Ånden som Gjorde Opprør’ (The Rebellious Spirit) album, and at long last I’m bringing it over to North America as well”.
