[1] Mors Subita was founded in Haukipudas in 1999, when guitarist cousins Mika and Aki Lammassaari and drummer Juha Haapala started playing covers of Pantera, White Zombie, Metallica and Sentenced, among others.
According to Lammassaari, the name Mors Subita was created in a "finger in the dictionary" style, and the members were sufficiently intrigued by this translation.
[4] Mors Subita released their debut album Human Waste Compression in summer 2011 via Violent Journey Records.
Bass was played by Mika "June" Junttila, and at the end of the recordings the band was joined by another guitarist, Tero Piltonen.
[6] Shortly after the release of the debut album, Haapala left the band[7] and was replaced by Ville Miinala (Vortech, Thyrane).
The album brought with it changes to the band's songwriting, with responsibility for lyrics and song arrangements shifting from Lammassaari to new singer Bodde.
[11] [12] The film was directed by Jukka Vidgren and Juuso Laatio, who have collaborated with Mors Subita since the music video for their debut album "The Sermon".
[15] On October 12, 2024, the band announced on social media that Eemeli Bodde was going to depart after the ongoing Trigger Wars tour.
