Urashima:

"Step into the enigmatic world of Morthond, a captivating music project that took shape during the winter of 1990 under the creative guidance of the singular talent, BJ Nilsen. Morthond isn't confined by genre labels; instead, it's a canvas where experimental soundscapes, dark atmospheres, and ambient textures converge to create an immersive auditory experience.
Unlike traditional projects, Morthond thrives on pushing sonic boundaries and challenging the norm. Rooted in the wintry landscapes of its inception, Morthond captures the stark beauty and chilling isolation of the season. Under BJ Nilsen's vision, Morthond becomes a vessel for exploring the shadowy corners of the human mind and emotions.
Morthond's music defies easy categorization, and that's precisely where its allure lies. It dances at the crossroads of experimental, ambient, and dark genres, creating soundscapes that evoke contemplation and provoke the imagination. BJ Nilsen's craftsmanship lies in his ability to orchestrate sounds that immerse listeners in a realm where emotions intertwine with auditory perceptions.
Urashima's vinyl reissue of "Death Time" is a mesmerizing portal to the project's formative years. Originally introduced on cassette through Sound Source - CMI in 1991, this album serves as the inaugural chapter in Morthond's sonic journey. "Death Time" not only showcases the debut of the project but also unveils a realm of experimental artistry that defies convention.
From the very first moments, "Death Time" announces itself as a sonic exploration unlike any other. It's an audacious fusion of experimental compositions and ambient soundscapes, a testament to BJ Nilsen's unrelenting quest to carve out an auditory path that transcends labels. This album stands as an embodiment of Morthond's early ethos: to defy the norm and venture into uncharted territories of sonic expression.
The tracks within "Death Time" reveal a landscape of sound that is both unsettling and captivating. As layers of sound overlap and intertwine, a sense of enigmatic tension unfolds. The experimental nature of the album invites the listener to relinquish preconceived notions and embrace the unknown. Each sonic element serves a purpose – from the echoing whispers to the evocative textures – creating a composition that resonates with thought-provoking depth.
Urashima's reissue transforms "Death Time" into a tangible experience. The vinyl format adds an organic richness to the album's soundscape, inviting listeners to immerse themselves fully in Morthond's world. The tactile act of placing the needle on the record becomes an initiation into a realm of artistic exploration.
This reissue isn't a mere resurrection; it's an invitation to rediscover the avant-garde essence of Morthond. "Death Time" remains a testament to the enduring power of experimental music to provoke thought and emotion. BJ Nilsen's visionary approach is evident in every sonic layer, making this vinyl reissue a commemoration of artistic exploration and a testament to the ongoing evolution of Morthond's sonic legacy. "
