Biography
In 1996, Torturer (drums) and his brothers in arms, Grond (vocals) and T. (guitars) founded Mor Dagor with the aim to commemorate extreme as well as fast Black Metal. After two years of intense work on the musical direction and composition of songs Grond and T. left the band. Beast (vocals and also guitars) and Pestilence (guitars) joined in. Another two years later the first release Bloodstream - a mini CD containing six tracks - was recorded at the CKB Studio in Essen in 2000.
Due to the success of Bloodstream many concerts were played in that period of time and until 2001. Lord Ashtaroth from Belgium joined in to perform bass in Mor Dagor. In December 2001 the first album Human Execution, with 11 tracks was produced, trusting the CKB Studio once again.
Because of his abilities as a drummer Torturer caught the attention of Austria's Belphegor who also hired him as a drummer. In 2003, Mor Dagor went on a self-organized European tour with Asmodeus (AT) and Cirith Gorgor (NL), while furthermore working on the following album after Human Execution.
Lord Ashtaroth and Mor Dagor decided to split their ways in early 2004. Twilight Distribution got interested in Mor Dagor so a co-operation deal could be signed which resulted in a re-release of Human Execution, as well as the release of their second album, Necropedophilia, in 2004.
In 2005, Ketzer Records released a split-EP of Mor Dagor and Cirith Gorgor.
Nihilist (bass) acceded to Mor Dagor but unfortunatly Beast left the band, because he wasn't able to spend time on rehearsals and shows.
In 2006, Mor Dagor gathered a new line up: Tyr (vocals) and Impaler (guitars) joined the band and Mor Dagor started to concentrate on working on new material for the third album. Mk. IV was recorded as well as produced from December 2008 until January 2009 at Andy Classen's Stage One Studio and was released on the 17th of July 2009 through Articaz Records.
During the recordings, guitarist Pestilence left the band. Mor Dagor had to find a new guitar player. After nearly one year of retrieval and auditions, Lykanthrop joined in early 2010.
