In 1999, Lady Morte began work on a solo project called Trobar de Morte. The project, involving vocals and keyboards, was principally inspired by the European Middle Ages. Some years later, in 2002, Lady Morte joined together with two companions, Sathorys Elenorth and Lady Nott (members of Sathorys), in order to work on a project that was similar in theme but put Trobar de Morte on hold. The union of the two groups, Trobar de Morte and Sathorys, became Ordo Funebris. When Ordo Funebris disbanded one year later, in September 2003, Lady Morte resumed her work creating music under the name Trobar de Morte, picking up her initial project from where it she had left it the year before.
She wanted a band that did not rely solely upon one instrument - the keyboard - and thought that an acoustic guitar would bring much more beauty to the music. Thus, she invited “Lenna” to play along with her, charging him with creating guitar scores. But Lady Morte felt that something was still missing... something that would give more force and tenacity to the band, something that would forcefully beat through the music like a heart... finally she knew what was needed: percussion! So “Taedium” was invited to join the group, becoming the lord of the drums. A new band was created, a band where the world of dreams is ruler, where fairies exist, and where beautiful, deep forests prompt a return to an imagined medieval era. There, where the witches dance around the bonfire and share their desires with the night and the stars, where the sea whispers the secret name of the wind, and the moon lulls us to sleep with its sweet lullaby... the enchanting surroundings breathe life into Trobar de Morte.

Summoning The Gods
Trobar de Morte Lyrics

The lyrics to Trobar de Morte's song Summoning The Gods are shrouded in mystery and mysticism. The lines "Sesoid sol a somamalca Amurb al ed odneilas" and "Sesoid sol a somamalca Ehcon al rop sodaporra" could be interpreted as incantations or spells. The phrases seem to be a summoning of the gods or higher powers, with the use of words that are not immediately familiar.
The lines "Ay nacreca es Otneiserp ol Nátse ay" seem to suggest that there is a sacrifice or offering involved in the summoning. The phrase "Otneiserp ol" could be "lore of the serpent" spelled backward. This could relate to the mythological symbol of the serpent as a source of wisdom or knowledge. The words "Nátse ay" could be "yes Satan" spelled backward, again suggesting a connection to mystical or occult ideas.
