BLOOD MORTIZED was founded in Stockholm, Sweden in late 2007. The music is heavily influenced by old school death metal from the the early 90‘s, mainly from the golden “Studio Sunlight era“. I had a pleasant chat with Mattias Borgh, the band’s drummer, please join our conversation…

Hej Mattias, välkommen till “Metal Shock”! hur mår du?

Tjenare! Jodå, jag mår helt OK, trött eftersom jag var ute och och firade en kompis igår, man börjar bli gammal nu haha!

In your biography there’s written: “Old style dirty-rotten-unpolished Swedish Death Metal the way it was truly meant!” … so, describe us the sound of Blood Mortized…

The sound we have I would describe as honest and real. When I record drums in Underworld Recording I don´t do any editing at all. What you hear is what I played, if I make mistakes I record until I am satisfied. That also goes for the rest of the instruments. We have a more old school aproach towards recording and playing music. We grew up recording on tape machines, with slim to none option of editing, for example moving drum beats around and copy paste parts to make a song. The dirty sound comes from the small imperfections on the recordings. I am a human being and I prefer my drum parts to sound human. I have a lot of problems with the modern productions where every beat is 100% tight on the beat and these sampled triggered drums are digusting, blergh! So for us Blood Mortized is Old style dirty-rotten-unpolished Swedish Death Metal the way it was truly meant! Simple as that! Ughhh! Haha!
