Biography
Mortum Hatred is a melodic death/folk metal-band formed by
Ted Sjulmark (lead guitar), John Egnell (rhythm guitar),
Jesper Thorin (bass and vocals) and Henry Persson (drums). The
lyrics of their songs are mostly based on medieval themes and
various mythologies.
Ted and Henry was in the band from the beginning, and were
looking for a rhythm guitarist and a new singer. Bass player
Måns Lundberg was also in the band at that time.
John got in the band simply because Ted asked him if he wanted
to join. He already knew that John was a good guitarist.
Not so long after John had joined, Jesper got in the band.
They were playing a song that Jesper knew, and he grabbed
the microphone and sang it. Later, Ted asked him if he wanted
to join.
Now they had a full band. Things went well for a while, until
Jesper and Måns got angry with each other. Måns quit the band,
and Jesper took over the bass. Then Ted and Henry also discovered
that he was a great bass player. Nothing was lost even if Måns quit.
After some time Jesper also quit, but they found another bass player,
Niklas Ekwall.
Later on, Alex Kalo joined the crew as the new rhythm guitarist and John went over to just singing.
Alex jumped off, not so long after he had joined. As replacement, they
brought in Christoffer Holmgren. He also quit pretty fast. Then, they came up with the idea of taking in their friend Filip Holstad
on bass and let Niklas switch to playing guitar. After some time Filip also quit. John took over the bass until they would find a new bass player.
Pretty soon they asked their friend Aleksandar Novakovic if he wanted to join the crew, which he was very happy to do, and John became permanent bass player.
