First full-length album from melodic death metallers THE MORPHEAN and a quite enjoyable one if you ask me. But there’s still room for improvement... especially when it comes to the choruses.
Most of the songs are on the exact same level, even though that that the level is quite high. They certainly don’t need to hide from the more established act in this genre... even though that they are repeating themselves on a few tracks. But I still miss a hammer-chorus.
When it comes to the music it selves, I’m quite impressed. The riffing and the runs are great and both aggressive and hard yet quite melodic. Especially track 4 “Aberration” is fucking great. The song contain a riff very similar to what VADER, AEON and JUNGLE ROT can come up with. This track floored me the very first time it was thundering out of my hard-tried speakers I can tell you that. Clever music with a sting in the tail.
The production is also quite good and I can’t see any reason for genre-fans not checking this album and band out now.
That’s all folks!
