With ''Era III'' came ''[[The Grudge (album)|The Grudge]]'', which took an even more drastic turn from previous eras and is said to have made the biggest impression of any of his albums. ''The Grudge'' took on a heavy [[industrial rock]] emphasis, combining grinding guitars and industrial programming. Some of the longtime fans were again not too happy with this turn, but it helped gain Mortiis more new fans. In 2005, the [[Norwegian Culture Council]] selected ''The Grudge'' to be freely available for listening to the public in libraries across the country.<ref name="artifact">{{cite news |url=http://www.earache.com/news_stories/mortiis.html#free_cd|website=Earache.com|title=Album made available to public for free |date=14 April 2005}}</ref>

On 16 April 2007 Mortiis released a remix album titled ''[[Some Kind of Heroin]]'', reworking material from ''The Grudge'', via [[Earache Records]]. "Some Kind of Heroin" offers diverse remix material including interpretations by a wide range of contemporaries, such as [[Zombie Girl]], [[Gothminister]], [[Implant (band)|Implant]], [[XP8]], [[PIG (musical project)|PIG]], [[the Kovenant]], [[Velvet Acid Christ]], [[Girls Under Glass]], David Wallace, [[Kubrick]], [[Flesh Field]], [[Victor Vortexx]], [[Dope Stars Inc]], [[In the Nursery]] among others.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.side-line.com/news_comments.php?id=21119_0_2_0_C|title=Mortiis to release remix album|website=Side-line.com}}</ref> In late 2009 and early 2010 earlier music has been partly reprogrammed and re-arranged for future live use.

On 10 October 2010 Mortiis released [[Perfectly Defect]] as a free internet only download album. Regarding why the album was free, Mortiis stated, "The new model of the music business is important to keep in mind; there's a new mentality out there in terms of how people acquire their music now."<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.smnnews.com/2010/10/06/mortiis-perfectly-defect-perfectly-free/ |title=MORTIIS' "PERFECTLY DEFECT": PERFECTLY FREE! &#124; SMNnews.com |access-date=30 June 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150924103240/http://www.smnnews.com/2010/10/06/mortiis-perfectly-defect-perfectly-free/ |archive-date=24 September 2015 |url-status=dead }}</ref>  During this time and the subsequent tours, the visual appearance and sound was similar to that of Era III, but with a more Industrial appearance closer to [[Combichrist]] and without any form of mask which had been a key characteristic of previous eras. Although this is marked as being part of Era III, this could be construed as a movement in Era IV.
