Morgoth – “Feel Sorry for the Fanatic”
This release really sucks because it is weak beyond belief and it is utterly boring in every aspect that the listener could possibly imagine. This should actually be called, “Feel Sorry For MORGOTH”. What I just said is very general, so lets be more specific here. For example, song number four, “…and its amazing consequences” is, (and I’m not kidding man!) a total techno-pop-rock song. Yes, with plastic-sounding drum machines and synthesizers that really make fans of NEW ORDER and DEPECHE MODE dance. This song has no vocals, just really “hip” sounds of techno. What is the purpose of this “experiment”? READ: STUPIDITY! This is silly and just plain dumb. MORGOTH sucks! O.K., then there is the obvious loss of any death metal feel to this. Remember now kiddies, when the “Eternal Fall” came out back in the early nineties, this bands vocalist was considered a contender for the worlds title of “heaviest” traditional death metal voice? Well, you can forget it now. Everything is pretty clear, as far as the voice is concerned. There are no growls or anything, just simple vocals that are boring. Another thing I must add, is that if he thinks he is trying to sing, then he is definitely hallucinating. This is no singer. Where are those heavy, face-ripping riffs now? Not here! Actually, this whole album sucks. This is totally un-metal. This is even weaker metal than U2. But U2 is not metal, right? Neither is MORGOTH! Finally, I just want to say that at one time this band was very promising. “Cursed” was incredibly heavy, melodic and just so good. It combined music with brutality, which if you have noticed, it is actually hard to do. I don’t even know why this is still called MORGOTH. This is dance music that your preppy class mates listen to. In short, SMASHING PUMPKINS is better than this because they are heavier, rawer, and more aggressive. This is a joke and no one is laughing. If someone is laughing, they’re laughing at, not with, MORGOTH.
