The origin of the name of the band is related on their website. The back-story recounts a historically questionable ancestral story beginning in 16th century Sweden. Supposedly, ancestors of the band members performed orchestral works in defiance of the ruling church at the time (possibly in reference to the newly installed protestant Lutheran national church, in power during the mid and late 16th century). The orchestra was forced to go into hiding, performing in secret, with the assistance of oppressed peasants during the era. After years of performing for the pleasure of these peasants, the story claims that the church put a bounty on the performers lives, and that this bounty was so high that the orchestra knew they would soon be captured, and thus chose to play a spectacular final show before becoming martyred to the church.

"Mortal Clay's music is heavily rhythmic and decidedly left-field, in an inventive, individualistic, style that doesn't tip its hat overmuch to any particular set of generic conventions. It pulls in fragments of folk, elements of industrial. There are strange sweeps of electronics and interludes of neo-classical ambience followed by outbreaks of pumelling drums. Guitar feeds in and out, voices come and go. It's organic and flowing, staccato and technology-driven. If they have folk clubs in the future, this is the stuff that you will hear therein."-Nemesis To Go. FromMortal Clay's My Space
