Mortemia is the brainchild of Norwegian metal artist Morten Veland, founder and composer for other notable bands such as Sirenia and Tristania. Launched as a solo project in 2009, Mortemia marks Veland's exploration into the symphonic and gothic metal genres, representing a distinct facet of his musical identity. Mortemia is characterized by its rich orchestral arrangements, powerful gothic atmospheres, and deep, resonant vocals, all of which are masterfully woven together by Veland's skilled composition and production.

Over the years, Mortemia has delved into various thematic and musical territories, as evidenced by its recent releases like "Eyes of the Viper," and "Kråkevisa," showcasing a blend of dark, melodic metal with historical and mythical narratives. Other tracks such as "Antidote" and "Frozen" further display Mortemia's ability to infuse emotional depth with heavy symphonic elements, creating a unique and captivating sound. While the project originally started as a more personal endeavor for Veland, it quickly gained a following for its compelling blend of gloom, melody, and metal, cementing Mortemia's place in the genre's landscape.
