Percussion instruments were missing, but later in the same year Mikko joined the band to play the drums. Jori was playing lead guitar and vocals, Jarkko guitar and Toni keyboards. The band played for a while with this set, but in the beginning of year 2000 Jori got tired of singing and wanted to concentrate only in guitar. A new singer was thus needed. Meanwhile Ville Viljanen had just left his old band and was looking for something new. He contacted the band and after an audition he became the new vocalist.
The first demo was made without a bass-player, and when Listenable Records expressed interest in the band, it became neccessary to find someone able to fulfill that role. In the year 2001 Teemu joined the band as the bass-player. Two more demos and few gigs were made and finally the hard work got rewarded. 2002 Listenable Records offered contract and the band signed a contract for 3 albums.
The debut album "Inhumanity" was recorded & mixed by Ahti Kortelainen in Finland at Tico-Tico Studios, in December 2002 and mastered at Finnvox Studios, in January 2003. Album was released at spring 2003.
Their second album "The Unborn" was recorded at Tico-Tico Studios, in November 2004 and mastered at Finnvox Studios, in December 2004. Album was released at spring 2005, except in USA it was released at the end of 2005.
Jori left the band towards the end of 2006 and was replaced by Karri Kuisma as a session guitarist and who later joined as rhythm guitarist.
The new album "Liberation = Termination" was released in March 2007.
The name of the band means "Death is the Beginning".
Current Lineup:
Ville Viljanen - vocals
Mikko Sipola - drums
Teemu Heinola - bass

Eternity
Mors Principium Est Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Now it's your turn to get out of this lie
So many years I have been lost
In this circle of time
Sometimes if feels like I'm trapped
In my own mind
I can feel my thoughts slipping away
I can see it there on the wall
The door that leads me out
Who's head is this now
Are these my own memories
Is it the feelings that make us human
So what am I now
Am I a man or just another
Empty hollow shell
I feel no pain, I feel no sorrow
The time is right, the time is now
The world will cry, the world will turn
I am eternity's child
Once you swore to me that I have no soul
You liar
But somewhere deep inside me there is one
Black as the night
Many times you have placed my sins in
Front of God
To judge me
But never been judged by you
I feel no pain, I feel no sorrow
The time is right, the time is now
The world will cry, the world will turn

Line by Line Meaning
You have led me into this grief
You caused my pain and suffering
Now it's your turn to get out of this lie
It's time for you to face the consequences of your actions
So many years I have been lost
I have been wandering aimlessly for a long time
In this circle of time
Trapped in the endless cycle of life
Sometimes if feels like I'm trapped
I feel imprisoned in my own mind
In my own mind
My thoughts and emotions consume me
I can feel my thoughts slipping away
I am losing control of my mind
Am I going insane
I question my own sanity
I can see it there on the wall
There is a way out, a path forward
The door that leads me out
Escape from mental imprisonment
Who's head is this now
Whose memories and thoughts am I experiencing
Are these my own memories
Or am I merely a vessel for someone else's experiences
Is it the feelings that make us human
Is it emotions that define us as human beings
So what am I now
I question my own identity
Am I a man or just another
Do I have a unique identity or am I just a vessel for others' experiences
Empty hollow shell
I feel devoid of any true identity
I feel no pain, I feel no sorrow
I am numb to the world around me
The time is right, the time is now
It is time for me to take action
The world will cry, the world will turn
The world will continue to exist despite my actions
I am eternity's child
I am a part of the never-ending cycle of existence
Once you swore to me that I have no soul
You denied my very essence
You liar
You deceived me with your words
But somewhere deep inside me there is one
I know that I do possess a soul
Black as the night
However, it is dark and brooding
Many times you have placed my sins in
You have judged me for my mistakes
Front of God
You have placed my perceived transgressions before a higher power
To judge me
As if you have the power to pass judgement on me
But never been judged by you
Yet you fail to hold yourself accountable for your own actions
