Morth is a one-man Black Metal band from Bulgaria. This is his début album.
This album has plenty of occult melodies for the listener to enjoy. Sometimes these melodies can seem quite jaunty or folksy, which is a nice touch among the overall darkened vibes that Morth creates.
The long songs have an epic feel and there’s plenty of atmosphere to soak up here. The music is expansive and seems to revel in a certain primitive sophistication that some of the early Black Metal bands found themselves experimenting with. It’s the kind of music that makes me feel nostalgic and never fails to raise a grim smile.
Synths and keyboards are never too far from the action, wrapping the twisting melodies in their dark embrace.
Vocally we get trademark Black Metal croaking screams that fit the music perfectly. These vocals are absolutely of the classic style and go hand in hand with the classic atmospheric music.
This is well-constructed atmospheric Black Metal with a nice line in melodies and uplifting leads and synths.
Very enjoyable.
