Mortal Love was a Norwegian metal band that was signed to Massacre Records. Their sound made combined use of soprano and tenor vocals, whilst placing emphasis on a consistent rhythm section with heavy guitars, piano and synthesizer melodies. Their first three releases, which lyrically dealt with love and failed relationships, were composed as a trilogy, as can be observed from combining the titles of the albums (All the Beauty, I Have Lost and Forever Will Be Gone). The band released the final album of the trilogy on 22 September 2006. On July 2011, the band announced that they were going to take indefinite hiatus.
On November 21, 2010, the band posted on their website that Massacre Records declined to release their new album as it was "less guitar-heavy." As the album has not officially been recorded, the band explained that they were exploring their options, possibly having the record be a digital-only product. As of 2012-05-11, their Official website is no longer active.

“And deep into her crystal body poured
The hot and sorrowful sweetness of the dust:
Whereof she wanders mad, being all unfit
For mortal love, that might not die of it.”

“[holds her by the hand, silent] O mother, mother!
What have you done? Behold, the heavens do ope,
The gods look down, and this unnatural scene
They laugh at. O my mother, mother! O!
You have won a happy victory to Rome;
But, for your son, believe it—O, believe it—
Most dangerously you have with him prevailed,
If not most mortal to him.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“The idea that nations should love one another, or that business concerns or marketing boards should love one another, or that a man in Portugal should love a man in Peru of whom he has never heard—it is absurd, unreal, dangerous.... The fact is we can only love what we know personally. And we cannot know much.”
—E.M. (Edward Morgan)
