The Great Live
Finnish Heavy Metal legends Spiritus Mortis release their live album via Svart Records The Great Live showcases the band's energy and darkness as it is on stage today! The album is a live compilation of several gigs in Finland during The Great Seal run in 2023-2024. There are few modern-day bands that can be uttered under the same breath as the giants of Traditional Doom and Heavy Metal like Spiritus Mortis. Formed in 1987 as Rigor Mortis they can firmly attest to having been “the first Finnish Doom Metal band”, uncovering hallowed ground before the later imitators. Carrying the banner of powerful true Metal, the likes of which stands proudly next to the masters such as Dio era Sabbath, Solitude Aeturnus and Trouble, Spiritus Mortis have established a tradition of catchy song-writing and consummate knowledge of sacred riff-craft. Synonymous with classic Finnish Doom bands like Reverend Bizarre, whose singer Albert Witchfinder intoned previous albums’ vocals, Spiritus Mortis continue to define and cement their formidable legacy. Albert’s replacement, Kimmo Perämäki is more than worthy of the consecrated robes he inherits, delivering a performance which is flawlessly dominating and instantly gratifying, marrying the riffs of the Maijala brothers and guitarist Kari Lavila with the splendor of magnificent melancholy that Spiritus Mortis is so known and admired for. The Great Live is available on a Svart exclusive transparent red / black smoke vinyl, limited transparent red vinyl, classic black vinyl, and on CD, as well on digital platforms. All versions include a booklet with photos from the shows around Finland.
