Denmark's eponymous Nortt is a reclusive vocalist and multi-instrumentalist specializing in what critics have labeled "depressive black funeral doom,". Beginning his experiments in 1995, Nortt has recorded a number of demos (97's "Nattetale," 98's "Doeden," 99's "Graven") and official releases, most of them short-form singles and EPs like 2002's Hedengang and 2003's debut album Gudsforladt. That same year saw a compilation of his scattered works unleashed as Mournful Monuments 1998-2002
