Morgoth - Ressurection Absurd [Demo Tape Version]

Monday, December 3, 2012 § 0

A promising new young band from Germany with 5 songs of juvenile and over-enthusiastic death metal. Hah, weren’t practically all death metal bands like that in 1989? Their first demo (‘Pits of Utumno’) had a bit of a poor sound but this one proved to be a step forward, although still nothing more than a decent sound. Eventually Century Media released these recordings as an EP.

The song quality varies from decent to superb. Although the latter qualification would only fit the song ‘Selected Killing’. This song has a very eerie intro with soundeffects before thundering into uptempo raging death metal with a simple but harmonic riff and followed by Crewe’s best vocal effort on this record. In the middle of the song the intro is revisited and extended, resulting in one of the best and most frightening death metal songs ever to have come from Germany. What a great composition. This song alone is reason enough to get your hands on this EP, honoustly!
Furthermore ‘Dictated Deliverance’ and ‘Lies Of Distrust’ are two of the better songs.

Recorded at D+S Recordings. Mixed at Mohrmann Studios.

Century Media officially re-released "Resurrection Absurd" along with the "The Eternal Fall" EP on CD in 1990 (Germany) and 1991 (U.S.). This was reissued by Century Media in 2003 (with all tracks remastered) with four bonus live clips:
Live in Bayshore, New York 1991:
1. Burnt Identity
2. Lies of Distrust
3. The Travel
4. White Gallery
This same re-issue was officially licensed to Brazilian label Kill Again Records for the South American version.
