MORRIGAN BIOGRAPHY
Back in 1992 two Bathory-Freaks named Beliar (git.) und Balor (dr.) came up with the idea to form a band to express their musical vision and Mayhemic Truth was born...
One year later they recorded their the first Demo "Son of dawn" which came out in a limited edition of 100 copies. After the release of the demo Beliar und Balor recruited Lilith on bass and wrote the songs for the second demo simply called "Promotape '94".
When the Promotape was out Mayhemic Truth got the chance to support the "Sons of Northern Darkness" Tour in Germany. Shortly after the tour Lilith left the band and Beliar and Balor did some gigs as a duo.
In 1995 Mayhemic Truth entered the studio to record their 7" EP "Cythraw" which came out on Folter Rec. After the release of the 7" a tour with Countess, Mortuary Drape and Drowned followed, then a gig at the first "Under the Black Sun" Open Air in Brohm, and the first "Fuck Christmas" Festival in Berlin.
One year later, in 1996, Mayhemic Truth entered the studio again to record their 3rd demo called "Demo '96". After the recordings Mayhemic Truth did some more gigs and in May '97 the band split up...
...2 years later Iron Pegasus Rec. came up with the idea to re-release the 7" EP and the Demo '96 as the "In Memoriam" CD/LP/Pic...
In 2000 Beliar and Balor came together once more and Morrigan was born. They started to write new songs and recorded their first CD "Plaque, Waste & Death" which was released by Barbarian Wrath in May 2001. In the same year Morrigan headlined the Under The Black Sun-Festival and played some more gigs including the Drakkar Hellfest.
In April 2002 "Enter The Sea Of Flames" was released by Barbarian Wrath, followed shortly by the vinyl version of the "Plague..." album on Miriquidi Prod.
In late 2002 Baldur entered the band as second guitarist and currently Morrigan are working on songs for their yet untitled 3rd CD.
In May 2003 Morrigan broke with their Label Barbarian Wrath and decided to run their own label "Horns Of Cernunos Prod.".
Since 15.09. 2003 Baldur is out of the band.
