About Me

Mort's history began in June 2000 when Ludvig (drums) joined the original line-up of Dzik (bass/voc) and Igor (guitars). They called themselves Razor and started to perform live. After a year of playing together personal reasons forced Dzik to quit. Previously Razor had made several shows- playing two hours live at "Selles Festival" (Plock) or winning the "Rock Bands Tournament" (Radom) to mention just a few. The band's discography consisted of two CDs- "Vice of Virtue" and "Live" (live material +bonus- ten minute film and home-recorded version of "Lanoline", which was also published with "Estrada i Studio", famous Polish music magazine).
Igor and Ludvig decided to go on with the band and started to look for some new musicians. They also dropped some part of the material and began to write new stuff.
The band was revived in November 2001 and named Mort. The main reason to change the name was the existence of several other bands called "Razor", which in its nature was contrary to bands originality.
The line-up was completed when Simon joined on bass/guitars in June 2002.
Band's first official demo was relased in November 2003. The CD is entitled "Rapid Development Of Elite" and contains seven tracks.

Poczatki Morta siegaja 2000 roku, kiedy to do Dzika (bas, wokal) i Igora (gitary) dolaczyl Ludvig (perkusja) i grupa, pod nazwa Razor, rozpoczela dzialalnosc koncertowa. Po roku wspÃ³lnego grania, Dzik powzial zaskakujaca, powodowana wzgledami osobistymi decyzje o odejsciu z zespolu. Do tego momentu grupa miala juz na koncie kilkanascie wystepÃ³w, m.in. dwugodzinny koncert na "Selles Festival" w Plocku, udzial w Turnieju Grup Muzycznych "Rock" w Radomiu (gdzie zajela pierwsze miejsce) oraz koncert na "Mlodziezowym Turnieju Grup Muzycznych" w Piasecznie. Dyskografia zespolu obejmowala dwie pozycje - "Vice of Virtue" oraz "Live", na ktÃ³rej znalazly sie utwory zarejestrowane na koncertach, blisko 10-minutowy film o zespole oraz nagrana w warunkach domowego studio wersja utworu "Lanoline", wydana takze na plycie dolaczonej do miesiecznika "Estrada i Studio" (grudzien 2000 r.).
Igor i Ludvig postanowili grac dalej i rozpoczeli poszukiwania nowych muzykÃ³w. Jednoczesnie spojrzeli krytycznym okiem na swoja dotychczasowa twÃ³rczosc, rezygnujac z czesci materialu na rzecz tworzenia nowych, bardziej dojrzalych kompozycji.
W listopadzie 2001 r. zespÃ³l zostal reaktywowany pod nazwa Mort. GlÃ³wnym powodem zmiany nazwy bylo istnienie juz kilku zespolÃ³w wykorzystujacych miano "Razor". Posiadanie tak popularnej nazwy w naturalny sposÃ³b klÃ³cilo sie z dazeniem grupy do oryginalnosci.
W czerwcu 2002 r. sklad zostal uzupelniony przez Simona (bas/gitary). W listopadzie 2003 r. zespÃ³l zakonczyl prace nad pierwsza oficjalna plyta demo. Krazek zatytulowany zostal "Rapid Development Of Elite" i zawiera siedem utworÃ³w.

Band Members:

Simon - new face (and a complete set of other body parts) in the band.
"He's always been into heavy music...ever since he remembered. But he became really evil in high school, when some freak music turned him actually into a freak. He changed so much he started to say lyrics from Pantera's "Vulgar Display Of Power" instead of a prayer. And he prayed Jimi Hendrix, asking for longer fingers.
In June 2002 he has incorrectly elucidated a question of wave dispersion of energy in vacuum according to developed complex equations of strings theory and had a nervous breakdown. He tried to find a cure that would return him to reality, but all he could find was a toilet with Igor inside. After a short conversation he decided to enter a new path of purity in his life, so he joined Mort as a guitarist, specialization bass.

Ludvig - the drummer, but also liquor taster, manufacturer and fanatic- the real man of Renaissance.
He was born with sticks in his hands (his mother went through hell). No one knows why he's decided to become a hard working drummer, sitting lonely on the back of the stage. Probably he was attracted by obvious bra similarity (you don't really need it, but it holds everything together).
And then he met Igor and Dzik and so Mort became his sword when mighty fighting against pop/dance shit.

Igor has always enjoyed action so when after many unsuccessful (blew by his parents) attempts he finally got to alcohol, he decided to associate his future with it. Soon it turned out that although drinking booze is very pleasant it's rather boring. He wanted something more... He decided to play...
After some time he knew what kind of music would suit his feelings best. He had Pantera, Slayer and Sepultura on his mind. Sometimes you can even hear him humming "...heavy metal, or no metal at all..." from Manowar while eating tomato soup.
Igor says: "It doesn't matter if you have hair on the outside as long as you have it on the inside..."
