Spiritus Mortis was formed in late summer of 1987. The first band in Finland to be called as a doom act.
Founding members were
Teemu and
Jussi.
At first V-P was only a temporary drummer but as usually shit happens and temporary became permanent.
At first band was known as
Rigor Mortis but at that time there was also US band called
Rigor Mortis so we changed the name to
Spiritus Mortis.
