“All Dead Here” huh? Hey, you wouldn’t want to risk sounding like you have a negative attitude towards life! Morgul’s take on metal focuses on a general feel of misanthropy. Thus, the mid-tempo, dark, symphonic\/synth, black-ish metal centers not on speed, or brutality, but on a mood of in-human, desolate, alienating and alienated constructions of sound. This is precisely why: (1) the music is almost devoid of conventional structures which usually play on an audience’s concept of familiar and expected melody, chorus and rhythm patterns. (2) This music appeals to an audience which enjoys the music often called “post-black metal,” which usually has metal plus industrial \/ techno influences. Having said all this, Morgul does not go overboard with synth\/industrial components. It’s still metal music with death\/black guitar work (and a drum machine?), but it is surrounded with string arrangements (synth?), some clean vocals, piano sounds, effects to form a thick, plodding, marching, dark sort of “post-black metal.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
