MORTA SKULD - Suffer For Nothing
Peaceville
Records
A tinge of Malevolent Creation sounding type of gig here, though the guitars are lower but equally strong. I liked this whole album, especially because it's an old school death metal vibe to it. Wisconsin based Morta Skuld have played alongside Death, Obituary, et al and they've been into the scene since 30+ years ago! I had the privilege to see a live performance of this for this album. They can definitely pull it off live! The album is a bit short, not even 40 minutes but it still packs a punch, to say the least! Decent sounding recording as well, definitely one of the better bands in this old school death metal genre that's still around.
Sounds
like they tune pretty low, maybe B or C which gives it that thick heavy
tone. The leads are pretty tight
too. But mostly the riffs are what holds
the most weight to it. People say the
drummer uses triggers but maybe, it still sounds good. Maybe so to keep up with the guitars. I'm still not marking off points to this
album if that's true. I think that they
worked hard on this one, Wisconsin based death metalers pack a punch. And the vocals go well with the music. I thought them pretty powerful live but
that's of little relevance as to what is that which we're dealing with here in
this recording.
The
production quality was pretty spot-on. I
thought it to be really powerful of a performance i.e. the entire
recording. The lyrical concepts were
something that I do omit in writing about since many bands are piss-poor at
writing lyrics when the music itself is good.
So this is beyond the scope of this album review. Judge for yourself when looking at the
lyrical concepts. I thought that they
killed it entirely musically-wise. The
guitars and drums are what stuck to me, not so much the vocals. Though they resemble a little bit of Brett
Hoffman (RIP) via Malevolent Creation.
Though they have their own twist to them.
I
listened to this one on Spotify first before I purchased the album. It was definitely worth it! These guys knock how to kick ass when it
comes to songwriting. I like their vibe
and I got the same when they played here live.
Definitely a talented band. And
the music is intense. I think they have
many more recordings in the works.
Towards the end of their tour here in Covid-19, I believe that their
next platter will pack another punch to it!
I hope that it's as good as this one maybe even better! I'll keep a watch out for this band. They've definitely hit to a liking to them entirely! Check out this album!
