Photograve Management is proud to announce that The 3rd And The Mortal are reuniting with original vocalist, Kari Rueslåtten, for a surprise series of live shows in 2025 / 2026. 

Known for their pioneering blend of atmospheric doom metal and lyrical melodies, the six-piece band is renown for excellent musicianship. They are set to revisit the music that inspired bands in the metal scene, like Nightwish, three decades ago. 

"This reunion is about celebrating the music we created together with the friends and wonderful fans who have inspired us all along," Kari says. 

The band's genre-defying mix of doom and progressive elements earned them a devoted following through multiple critically acclaimed album releases. Though Kari left the band in 1995 to pursue a successful solo career, her time with The 3rd And The Mortal remains special. 

"When we play live, all music you hear from the stage is authentic, we don’t bring any pre-recorded tracks," bass player Bernt confirms. 

What can you expect from these live shows? 

"We will focus solely on the material we created when Kari was a part of the band, our debut EP, Sorrow (1994), and our first full-length album, Tears Laid In Earth (1994)," says Trond, one of the three guitarists. Fans can expect an unforgettable experience as the band breathes new life into their timeless music via live shows, beginning with the Midgardsblot Festival in Norway, August 14, 2025. 

Rune, the drummer, speaks for them all, saying "We cannot wait to get out there again and meet up with our wonderful fans and friends who has followed us for such a long time!"
