Notable releases such as "All the Witches Dance" (1994), "Secret Sudaria" (1997), and "Buried in Time" (2004) have solidified their place in the underground metal scene as cult classics. Their return with "Spiritual Independence" in 2014, after a ten-year hiatus, showed that Mortuary Drape remained uncompromised in their vision, continuing to churn out material that resonates with their original sound while exploring new lyrical depths. With albums like "Tolling 13 Knell" (2000) and the more recent "Wisdom - Vibration - Repent" (2019), the band sustains their legacy, delivering the chilling and ceremonious black metal they are revered for. Mortuary Drape remains a name that is synonymous with the arcane side of metal, a band that has truly lived its art throughout its enduring career.
