Mors Principium Est (from the Latin for "death is the beginning") is a Finnish, melodic death metal band.
The band was formed in 1999 in Pori, Finland by singer/lead guitarist Jori Haukio, guitarist Jarkko Kokko and keyboardist Toni Nummelin. Drummer Mikko Sipola joined in late 1999, soon followed by the arrival of new vocalist Ville Viljane in early 2000 when Haukio decided to focus on his guitar work. Bassist Teemu Heinola was not appointed until after the band's first demo, Before Birth, which attracted attention from French record label Listenable Records in 2001.[1]
One year and two demos later, Mors Principium Est signed a three-album contract with Listenable Records which will be completed by Liberation = Termination, due to be released in early 2007.[2][3]
