Mortiis på lydverket NRK1

NOTODDEN, Norway Mortiis will be featured on an episode of the Norwegian television show Lydverket on Wednesday, March 1.

The subject of the program is masks and images in rock music and Mortiis prosthetic-enhanced frontman made the band an obvious choice for the program. Noted for his unique image, the frontman of the same name began wearing a full mask in 1994 as part of the full Mortiis concept. Lydverket captures Mortiis 12 years later as the concept has evolved and Mortiis has begun removing the mask during live shows.

The Lydverket" crew followed Mortiis for nine months, filming and interviewing the band numerous times on tour in England and Norway and at photo shoots.

"Lydverket" (Norwegian for "soundworks") is Norways biggest and most respected music program with an average of 150,000 viewers and airs on the countrys largest channel.

The episode will also include Slipknot, KISS first manager Bill Aucoin, and Alice Cooper, among others.

This episode of Lydverket will first air on NRK1 on Wednesday, March 1 at 23.10 (11:10 p.m.) and will re-play on NRK2 Sunday, March 5.

Mortiis is currently working on new material. A follow up to last years The Grudge is planned for this year.
