Mortiis – ‘Smell of Rain’ CD

‘The Smell of Rain’ is an album released by solo artist Mortiis in 2001, and it also marks its first album where Mortiis took the role as lead vocalist, which had previously been filled by Sarah Jezebel Deva.

The initial CD press run for Germany contained a bonus DVD, including the ‘Parasite God’ video. The LP was a double gatefold with a 12” lyric insert. A remastered version was released later, as Mortiis requested. It contained four remixed songs.

Initial attempts at getting the CD booklet printed as transparent layers of art and text were turned down by the label several times. Though this was done for the next album (‘The Grudge’) as a “Strictly Ltd Edition’ Decadent’ PVC Sleeve”.
