MORTA SKULD released their second album on this day in 1994 through Peaceville's Deaf Records.
The album followed Dying Remains, released only a year earlier, and a brief, temporary split:
...the band and myself got into an argument about my playing, and at the time I was going through a divorce and wasn't really all there, so my playing did suffer a bit but we got through it. The other guys just weren't giving me the time I needed and they said if I don't improve they are leaving or I'm fired, depending which end you're on. So I wasn't happy at all and told them they couldn't use the name and I'd find some other guys. And just so Viogression was on a break as their singer was working with Cynic, so they and I got together and played out and wrote some new material (which has been lost) under the Morta Skuld name. The other guys couldn't find anyone and the guys I was with were returning to their own band, So we were all at this party at a buddy of mine (Who played in REALM) and like a girl you broke up with you missed one another and that lead to talks. They had written an album worth of tunes in which they tuned up and gave it more of a cleaner sound, and not to mention the guitar player at the time Jason O was heavily into Malevolent creation and their guitar sound. So I picked the ones I liked and we wrote a few as a band and that is how that album came to be.
