Morphesia are a band from San Diego, California that plays a very raw and diverse form of satanic black metal and this is a review of their self released 2012 demo.
"Hell Of Satan" begins with some bell sounds, guitar riffs and drum programming before going into a fast and primitive direction and then the black metal screams start kicking in along with some deep demonic growls and after awhile the music slows down for a few seconds before switching back and forth between slow and fast parts and towards the end there is a brief use of melodic guitar leads.
"Rituals Of The Mourning Mass" begins with some keyboards and a few seconds alter drum programming and melodic guitar riffs start coming in along with some heavier elements before going into a fast and primitive direction along with some grim screams and then the music starts switching back and forth between slow and fast parts and towards the end there is a brief use of guitar solos and leads but closes with some primitive riffing.
"Born Cold" begins with some mid paced black metal guitar riffing and drum programming and then the grim vocals start kicking in and after a minute the music slows down and adds in a melodic guitar lead before getting more fast and primitive sounding before slowing down towards the end and closing with some clean guitars.
"God Disease" begins with some dark keyboards before the melodic guitar riffs and drum beats start kicking in and then the black metal screams kick in and the music goes into a more fast and primitive direction and halfway through the song the music gets more slow and melodic for a few seconds before getting fast and primitive again and then the music stars switching back and forth between slow and fast parts and towards the end the keyboards make a return.
"George Chapman" begins with some dark and symphonic sounding keyboards before the slow and heavy guitar riffs and drum beats start kicking in along with some black metal vocals and after a couple of minutes the music goes into a cleaner direction and you can also hear the bass guitars along with some spoken word parts for a few seconds before the music gets heavy again.
"A Meager Sacrifice" begins with some fast and primitive black metal guitar riffs and drum beats as well as some grim screams before slowing down a bit and going back to being fast again and then the music starts switching back and forth between slow and fast parts and halfway through the song keyboards and melodic guitar leads start making their way into the song along with the guitar riffing adding in more melody.
'Truth" begins with some noise style sound effects along with some dark ambient elements and the song is all instrumental.
"Blood Soaked In Irony" begins with some keyboards and dark and heavy guitar riffs along with some drum programming before adding in some powerful bass and melodic riffing which leads up to some grim black metal vocals and halfway through the song the music gets more fast and primitive sounding and towards the end the music slows down and adds in more symphonic elements before returning back to the fast parts.
"Welcome" begins with some heavy, fast and primitive black metal guitar riffs, drum programming and grim screams before slowing down and adding in deeper vocals, guitar solos and leads along with some melodic parts as well as switching back and forth between fast and slow parts.
Song lyrics cover Satanism, Occultism, Darkness and Anti Christian themes, while the production has a very dark, raw and primitive sound to it.
In my opinion Morphesia are a very great sounding satanic black metal band with a lot of diverse elements and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this demo. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Hell Of Satan" "God Disease" and "Welcome". RECOMMENDED BUY.
