20 Years Ago: MORRIGAN release Enter the Sea of Flames

After ending MAYHEMIC TRUTH in 2000, Beliar and Balor formed the equally epic MORRIGAN. Morrigan was born in summer 2000. We never considered to call the band MAYHEMIC TRUTH, because after the relase of "In Memoriam" this would be a joke... Balor / Morrigan interview, Tales from the...
