The Story

Atra Mors: The Cure for Life is a album that reimagines the Black Death (1347–1351) not as a tragedy, but as the ultimate absurdist comedy. Through a genre-bending mix of Thrash, Doom, Black, and Symphonic Metal, the album chronicles the plague’s relentless tour from the Siege of Caffa to the frozen harbors of Norway.

Historically accurate but lyrically cynical, the album satirizes human stupidity in the face of extinction. It draws parallel lines between medieval panic—snake oil cures, scapegoating, and economic greed—and modern crisis management. It’s the soundtrack for the end of the world, performed by a band that knows the show must go on.
