Eyed Demon – and one compilation, known as AIDS to the People, made up tracks from previously
release and unreleased singles.
Selvmord, which translates to “suicide,” was Vond’s 1994 full length and was originally released as a
limited edition LP by the now-defunct Dutch label Necromantic Gallery. “We included a razorblade with
the 20 first copies,” Mortiis said, adding with a morbid sense of humor that “there have been no suicides
that we are aware of.” That version of the record has been sold out for two decades. It was released in
CD format by various record labels.
Recorded and released in 1996, The Dark River was released on vinyl and CD through Mortiis’ own
Dark
DarkDungeon Music. Later pressings were available through various official labels, as well as bootlegs.
Green Eyed Demon followed in 1997. “This record differs in that it is very inspired by dark industrial
noise collage type of music,” Mortiis said. “It is way more ‘uneasy listening’ than any other Vond
recording.” The LP and CD were released by US label Cybertzara Records and have been unavailable
since.
