There are bands that sell out stadiums, and then there are bands that inspire those stadium stars. The 3rd and the Mortal belong to that second, exclusive category. This Norwegian legend is the often unjustly overlooked cornerstone of "atmospheric metal" and a pioneer in integrating female vocals into doom music. Long before the world fell under the spell of The Gathering or Nightwish (Tuomas Holopainen himself cites them as a major inspiration), they were there with their seminal debut Tears Laid in Earth.
Their music is not for the impatient. It is an ethereal, melancholic journey that starts at doom roots but isn't afraid to wander into the waters of jazz, prog-rock, and pure avant-garde. Whether reflecting on the era with Kari Rueslåtten or the more experimental period with Ann-Mari Edvardsen, it is always a sonic landscape painting evoking mist over Norwegian fjords and the sheer weight of existence. Witnessing this cult formation live is a dream come true for every musical historian and lover of atmospheric music. Prepare for a set that will be as fragile as glass and as heavy as a tombstone.
