Mortal Form searching for a new record deal 27 april 2011
We have recorded a 5 track demo that we have sent to many record labels. We hope to get a new record deal for releasing our second full lengt album in 2012!
Mortal Form was found in 1999 by Vince (guitar), Teun (guitar), Bastiaan (drums) and Tim (bass / vocals). Their main goal was, and still is, to combine the best elements of both thrash and death metal in their music. The authentic sound of Mortal Form is completed by adding a melodic parts and traditional guitar solos to their songs.
Soon after Mortal Form was found, they hit the studio to record their first demo-CD “X-Plore”. During these recordings, Tim left the band and was replaced by Edme (vocals) and Tobias (bass). Edme completed the vocal parts on “X-plore” before the demo-CD was released in 1999. Local shows followed.
In 2000 Mortal Form hit the studio again to record their second demo-CD “The End of Times” that was released in the same year. It received good critics in the underground press and in the period following Mortal Form did many gigs in and outside Holland.
After the release of “The End of Times” Mortal Form decided to write additional material for a full length with the working title “Evil Reborn” that was recorded in 2002. Due to several reasons, it was never officially released. But only a 3-track promo was distributed for promotional purposes. The promo was well received, gigs continued. After a period of almost 4 years vocalist Edme was forced to leave the band in 2003 due to a lack of interest. Rogier (vocals) replaced Edme soon after.
With new vocalist Rogier Mortal Form was asked to record three songs for a compilation disk of the local metal scene. They hit the studio in 2003 and recorded three brand new songs. These three songs represent the roots of the current Mortal Form sound. The compilation was released in 2003. After the release, Mortal Form played support gigs for several acclaimed artists until Tobias left the band in 2005 and was replaced by Oscar (bass, former Solstice).
In the following period Mortal Form decided it was time to take the band sound to a higher level and they took until 2008 to write material for a new full length. In the meantime, the gigs continued less intensive. Mortal Form entered both the Marmer and Snowstar Studio in 2008 to record their debut full-length “Taste the Blood” with Nico van Montfoort (Heidevolk, Strike First, A Silent Express, a.o.).
“Taste the Blood” was released in January 2009 by My Kingdom Music (ITA) and received excellent reviews by the metal press all over the world. Mortal Form played loads of gigs in Benelux and Germany with acclaimed artists on the bigger venues and prestigious festivals.
In 2010, Rogier decided to leave the band and was soon after replaced by old German friend Ralf (vocals, also Witchtower). In this new line up Mortal Form started writing songs for a pre production of the new album. Currently (March 2011) the pre production is ready and Mortal Form is searching for a new record deal before entering the studio again.
