I found a citation for the sentence "Recently, the Norwegian government has declared The Grudge as a cultural artifact, requiring the album to be in libraries across the country" here: http://www.mic.no/nmi.nsf/printstory/art2005040715403642572213, but unfortunately it is in Norwegian. Bottom line of the source is that the government does not demand that libraries buy these publications, but wants to contribute to "spread the knowledge and distribution of Norwegian quality sound productions" (quote from here: http://www.ballade.no/mic.nsf/home/bransjeregister?opendocument&url=http://www.ballade.no/symfoni/kontakt.nsf/pub/bed2000081513221048786449]here). I don't think the sentence should stay as it is at the moment, but is unsure on how to change it... EliF 17:22, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

This article perhaps needs to distinguish between the artist and the band. Perhaps a seperate article for Haavard Elefsen?

I think the opening paragraph could be edited to explain the difference, and that would be good enough. J Milburn 09:14, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

I've changed 'born' to 'real name' - to avoid confusion of him really being called Mortiis. Monolith 14:10, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] genres

Why were they changed? Cannibaltom 02:02, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

Thats what I would like to know.. I'd agree with Industrial Rock, but not Symphonic Metal.. Mortiis doesn't do Metal - no matter how many metal bands he has been on tour with. The Smell of Rain has been reviewed enough times as EBM, and even sometimes being referrenced as Pop. In an interview, Mortiis even said that The Smell of Rain was a bit pop.

[edit] Image/Mask/Blix

Need a reference for the Blix part in the image section. I'm looking for the interview - though if anyone else has a section use that instead. (If I remember correctly, the interview mentions that his first mask was made by a professional studio and when asked for a reference, Mortiis gave them a picture of Blix).
