Morta Skuld is an American death metal band hailing from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Originally active from 1990-1998, they have since reformed in 2012. With their powerful and aggressive sound, Morta Skuld has established themselves as one of the prominent figures in the death metal scene.
Inspired by bands such as *Morpheus Descends*, *Rottrevore*, and *Banished*, Morta Skuld's music combines intense guitar riffs, thunderous drums, and guttural vocals to create a dark and atmospheric experience for their listeners. Their unique blend of brutality and melody sets them apart from other acts in the genre.
With influences ranging from *Massacra* to *Sinister*, Morta Skuld's discography showcases their evolution over the years. Fans can expect a relentless onslaught of crushing tracks that explore themes of mortality, despair, and existential dread. Whether you're a die-hard fan or new to the world of death metal, Morta Skuld is sure to leave a lasting impression with their raw energy and uncompromising musicality.

MORTA SKULD'S SECOND ALBUM OF BRUTAL DEATH / DOOM METAL.

Morta Skuld formed in Milwaukee in 1990, going on to release three albums on Peaceville Records (initially via legendary sub-label Deaf Records) in the early-mid 90's, with the band’s debut ‘Dying Remains’ seeing its release in 1993.

‘As Humanity Fades’ was Morta Skuld’s follow-up album to their widely hailed debut & surfaced in 1994. Featuring a further evolution of the band’s brand of death/doom metal with a fine dose of brutality plus a degree of technicality & consisting of the same line-up headed by band mastermind & guitarist/vocalist, David Gregor, ‘As Humanity Fades’ was once more recorded at Cornerstone studios, Wisconsin.

This edition of ‘As Humanity Fades’ contains remastered audio, plus the rare bonus track, ‘Sacrificial Rite’; a demo track which was re-recorded during the album sessions.

Morta Skuld has enjoyed a period of rejuvenation in recent years, with their ‘Wounds Deeper Than Time’ & ‘Suffer For Nothing’ opuses impressing with their catchy & brutal no-nonsense death metal delivery, including a string of tours & high-profile festival appearances in support of the releases.
