(sublabel of Dark Descent). During the two following years, the band played several shows across France and Europe, outstanding a tour with SKELETHAL in 2017. During the first months of 2018, MORTAL SCEPTER finished the recordings of their first full length album Where Light Suffocates, which caught the attention from Xtreem Music who offere them a deal.

1. A Ray of Despair

6. The Carpathian Castle
7. Spear and Fang
