Morbid Rites

Morbid Rites was formed by Bestial Mutilator in 1999, when after drinking too much alcohol with Mister G. on New Year’s Eve, he decided to form a thrash metal band. B. Mutilator took Mister G. in the band for his musical skills & because of his fame in the Breton Black Metal scene. A few days later (and after a few beers) they were recording their first song (composed and written by B. Mutilator): "Tormentor" (featured on the compilation ''Be your Own Tormentor'' released by ''DMG/A mort tout Productions''). Once they had their first song finished, they were quickly signed on the great label "Fatal Records" (Asylum of Darkhorde, Pest, Steelburner, Mammoth, Imperial Krucifixion & Velociraptor). They recorded 4 other songs to complete their yet cult demo "Bestial Attack" which features famous personalities from Rennes’ Metal scene as the satanic Might (who was just coming out of jail) from the Old and Cult Darkhorde & the guitar hero Gil. L. Burner. But in April 2000, B. Mutilator decided to split Morbid Rites to get more time for his studies. Fortunately, Morbid Rites came back a few months later with the original line-up, more aggressive than ever and with the right "fuck you attitude". The first event of this reunion was collaboration with 2 underground Indus-Techno personalities known as Shick FX & DJ Kool, followed by the recording of the kicking ass ''Alcoholapse'' which appears as bonus track on the demo re-edition as well as another never-released new song. A second demo, ''Celtic Thrash Metal'' was released in 2001. This time, no doubt was allowed: Morbid Rites was on the path of the best brutal black/thrash acts of the genre. It was time to recruit some real musicians to play live, then. Glaurung (drums, pre-ex-Enthroned) and Infamous Butcher (bass, pre-ex-Retentum Curiae) joined the Horde. In February 2002, they played their first gig in Rennes, at the famous "Mondo Bizarro".
But under some ''musical differences'', Morbid Rites split up a few months later, and for some long years this time.
