Norway's Tulus have returned with a new recording which shows the band taking the classic Norwegian black metal style into a different direction and this is a review of their 2026 album "Morbid Desires" which will be released in March by Darkness Shall Rise.
Synths start off the album before going into more of a heavy and melodic direction while the vocals are done in a very grim and angry black metal style. When the music speeds up a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats can be heard which also gives the songs more of a raw feeling.
All of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them while clear singing is also used at times. Flamenco's and acoustic guitars are also added on some of the tracks along with the music also being very heavily rooted in the classic Nordic style as well as the songs also adding in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts.
When guitar solos and leads are utilized they bring in more of a classic style of metal along with some the mid tempo sections also adding in touches of blacl'n'roll and the closing track is very long and epic in length and shows an influence of doom metal. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics are written in Norwegian and cover dark folklore.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Tulus and if you are a fan of Norwegian black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Skabb" "Vanvidd" "Foessegrimens Vakt" and "Sabbat". 8 out of 10.
