Biography

[edit]

Mortem is one of the oldest and most celebrated bands from the obscure Peruvian death metal scene. Founded by Fernán Nebiros and Alvaro Amduscias in July–August 1986, Mortem has been through several line-up changes as they toured South America and released a number of demos. Mortem released their debut album Demon Tales in 1996 after signing a record deal with Peruvian recordlabel Huasipungo Records. Demon Tales would be the second Peruvian metal album ever released, following the Hadez release ‘Aquelarre’ in 1993. Shortly after releasing Demon Tales Mortem was signed to German metal label Merciless Records[1] which made Mortem the first Peruvian metal band ever to sign to a European label.

In 2003 and 2004, Mortem became the first Peruvian metal band in history to tour Europe and the United States. In 2007, with four full-length studio albums and one live album to their name, Mortem have achieved notable underground status and as such loyal support across the continents. Mortem has performed concerts with Sarcófago, Immolation, Sadistic Intent, Possessed, Slayer, among others.
