**About MORS PRINCIPIUM EST**

  
Over the course of seven original studio albums, **MORS PRICIPIUM EST** refined their modern approach to melodic death metal again and again. Members came and gone, but their music remained untouched: razor-sharp riffing, sweeping orchestration, melancholic harmonies, and relentless rhythmic precision – topped by **Ville Viljanen’s** unmistakable vocals.

**MORS PRINCIPIUM EST** were founded in Pori in 1999 and are one of the longest serving Finnish melodic death metal bands. With frontman **Viljanen** being the most stable members, the present quintet survived several line-up changes before original members and guitarists **Jori Haukio** and **Jarkko Kokko** returned to **MPE** and already took part in recording their latest offering “**Liberate The Unborn Inhumanity” **[2022]. Also contributing to these refreshing re-recordings from their early years were former bassist **Teemu Heinola** and drummer **Marko Tommila**. A statement to honour the group’s history and to celebrate the freshly motivated line-up, which is now set to blast out their ninth album titled “**Darkness Invisible”** on **September 26, 2025** through new label home **PERCEPTION**.
