Morgal - Morgal (CD)

Comprising a mere 15 minutes, the four songs making up Morgal are some of the most immediately exciting heavy metal of recent times, but draped in the velvety wings of ancient blackness. Each of these anthems literally explodes from the speakers with a rabid intensity and cocksure exuberance that are simply impossible to resist, each a hideous, hungry torrent of wild soloing, near-chaotically careening rhythm, and frothing-mad vox. They all exude the ageless wisdom of true black METAL - so ageless, in fact, that you'd be forgiven for mistaking Morgal as the work of very old men - but given frantic flight through youthful elan that's enviously advanced for their age.Morgal is a chain-breaking, sword-drawing, spell-invoking experience like no other...and then, as explosively as it began, it's over. Time to press "play" again and DETONATE.
