Morbosidad/Profana La Cruz Del Nazareno/Old temple/2024 Album Re-Issue Review

 

   This  is  a  review  of  an  older  recording  from  U.S.A's  Morbosidad  which  showed  the  music  going  for  a  mixture  of  war  and  bestial  black/death  metal  and  the  album  was  originally  released  in  2008  and  called  "Profana  La  Cruz  Del  Nazareno"  and  was  re-issued  in  2024  by  Old  temple.

 Synths  and  ritualistic  spoken  word  parts  start  off  the  album  before  going  into  a  very  fast,  raw  and  brutal war  metal  direction  which  also  utilizes a   great  amount  of  tremolo  picking  and  blast beats.  Vocals  are  a  mixture  of  bestial  growls  and  black  emtal  screams  while  the  music  is  heavily  rooted  in  the 90's  era.

  When  guitar  solos  and  leads  are  utilized  they  are  done  in  a  very  chaotic  style  while  the  songs  also  add  in  a  good  mixture  of  slow,  mid  paced  and  fast  parts.  Most  of  the  riffing  is  done  on  power  chords  along  with  most  of  the  songs  having  an  average  song  length  of  two  and  a  half  minutes  with  some  a  little longer  or  shorter  and  they  also  bring  in  a  cover  of  Sarcofago's  "Deathrash".

  On  this  recording  Morrbosidad  remained  to  the  bestial  mixture  of  war  and  black/death  metal  that  they  had  established  on  previous  releases.  The  production  sounds  very  dark  and  raw  while  the  lyrics  are  written  in  Spanish  and  cover  Satanism,  Luciferian,  Devil  Worship.  Blasphemy,  Darkness  and  Death  themes. 

  In  my  opinion  this  was  another  great  sounding  recording  from  Morbosidad  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  war  and  bestial  black/death  metal,  you  should  check  out  this  re-issue.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "Sangrada  Cruz  Invertida"  "Templo  De  Lucifer"  "Consagracion  De  Sathanas"  and  "Morboso  Metal".  8  out  of  10.

Morbosidad/Kill/Santuario del Diablo/Hells Headbangers/2018 Split EP Review

  This  is  a  review  of  a  split  ep  between  U.S.A's  Morbosidad  and  Sweden's  Kill  called  "Santuario  del  Diablo"  which  will  be  released  on  November  30th  by  Hells  Headbangers  and  we  will  start  off  the  review  with  Morbisidad  who  return  with  their  bestial  mixture  of  war,  black,  death  metal  and  grindcore.

  Their  side  of  the  split  starts  out  with  a  very  fast,  raw  and  brutal  war  metal  sound  which  also  uses  a  great  amount  of  tremolo  picking  and  blast  beats  while  the  vocals  are  a  mixture  of  black  metal  screams  and  bestial  growls  along  with  the  faster  sections  of  the  songs  also  mixing  in  elements  of  grindcore  as  well  as  all  of  the  musical  instruments  having  a  very  powerful  sound  to  them.

  Both  of  the  tracks  stick  to  a  fast  direction   while  a  small  amount  of  dark  sounding  melodies  and  chaotic  guitars  leads  can  also  be  heard  briefly  on  the  second  song,  the  production  sounds  very  dark  and  raw  while  the  lyrics  are  written  in  Spanish  and  cover  death,  war  and  satanism  themes.

  In  my  opinion  this  is  another  great  sounding  recording  from  Morbosidad  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  this  band,  you  should  check  out  their  side  of  the  split.  RECOMMENDED  TRACK  "Verdugo".

  Next  up  is  Kill  a  band  that  plays  a  raw  mixture  of  war,  black,  death  and  thrash  metal.

  Their  side  of  the  split  starts  out  with  some  dark  sounds  before  going  into  a  very  fast  and  raw  war  metal direction  which  also  uses  a  great  amount  of  blast  beats  along  with  some  elements  of  thrash  while  the  vocals  are  mostly  high  pitched  black  metal  screams  as  well  as  the  track  being  6  minutes  in  length.

  The  songs  also  adds  in  a  mixture  of  slow,  mid  paced  and  fast  parts  while  chaotic  chaotic  guitar  leads  which  also  evolves  into  a  more  melodic  direction  are  also  used  briefly  along  with  all  of  the  musical  instruments  sounding  very  powerful,  the  production  sounds  very  dark  and  raw  while  the  lyrics  cover  satanism,  hatred,  death  and  destruction  themes.

  In  my  opinion  Kill  is  a  very  great  sounding  mixture  of  war,  black,  death  and  thrash  metal  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  those  musical  genres,  you  should  check  out  this  band.

  In  conclusion  I  feel  this  is  a  very  great  sounding  split  and  would  recommend  it  to  all  fans  of  war  and  bestial  black  metal.  8  out  of  10.

Morbosidad Interview

1.Can you give us an update on what has been going on with the band since the recording of the new album?
**Playing shows,drinking and of course trying to write new stuff for a split with Ungod.


2.You have a new album coming out in March, how would you describe the musical sound that is presented on the recording and also how does it differ from the stuff you have released in the past?
**We always tried to keep our same sound in every recording, thats what make us different from any other band. Im really satisfied with the production, is really well produced compared to our previous recordings.


3.I have read that at the end of 2018 the band is going to split, can you tell us a little bit more about this decision?
**Yes, I think its time to put it to rest. Its been 25 years already, I dont have time for shows anymore plus the scene sucks nowadays, too many wanna be's, posers and pretentious people that makes me sick, everytime I played or go to shows. I cant deal with that shit, Im gonna miss it alot though (Morbosidad) is everything to me but I have differents plans, a project in mind. I owed everything to Morbosidad, got to go places I never though I wi and met so many bands and people, I had a really good run.


4.You have been playing a 'war metal' style since the early 90's back when only a handful of bands where playing this style, do you feel you might have had a huge influence on a lot of the newer bands that have been playing this genre over the years?
**I heard from some bands once in a while, they tell me how much Morbosidad influenced them on their music, lyrics etc. I takes me by surprised to heard that but it feel good to hear it, makes you proud.


5.All of your lyrics have been written in Spanish, why did you pick this language?
**Cause its my native language plus I think it gives our music a more primitive, evil and blasphemous sound.


6.Also a lot of your lyrics are very satanic, occult and blasphemous, can you tell us a little bit more about your interest in the dark arts?
**I've been into the dark side all my life since I remember. its our only path that helps us to get through in this pathetic life we live in.

7.What is the meaning and inspiration behind the name 'Morbosidad'?
**A spit on god's face, nothing but blasphemous Morboso Metal.


8.What are some of the best shows that the band has played over the years and also how would you describe your stage performance?
**I really enjoyed playing Black Flames of Blasphemy in Finland. The sound was so amazing, the bands on the bill plus having Sodomatic Slaughter playing Salomon' Gate with Morbosos was unique, something I will never forget. Our performances are always full of hate, chaos and insanity. I fuckin dig crowds when they get rawdy and a fucked up, is always a plus fpr us to see that.


9.What are some of the final touring or show plans for 2018?
**We are playing El Salvador and Guatemala once again this March. Then in April we will desecrate Tennessee for the first time. May we have a local show in San Antonio, Texas. June we will spill some blood at Destrtoying Texas Metal Fest. July, we are going back to play Gospel of the Serpent Fest. Then in October Peru and Colombia or Chile. Thats what we have so far.

10.Originally the band was based in Oakland, California but now re-located to Houston, Texas, can you tell us a little bit more about this move?
**I live in San Antonio, Texas. The rest of my members live in Houston. I dont know what heppened, still trying to figure it out why? Ohh well, its been 6 years already, so lets see what happens within the next years.


11.On a worldwide level how has the feedback been to your newer material by fans of war, black, and death metal?
**Its been great so far, Im always thankful for the fan base we have, they are loyal and die hards. A big hails and horns up to them for their support.


12.Are the band members going to focus more on their other musical projects after 2018?
**I think so, Joe Necro and Matt Mayhem play in Blaspherian. Ded Ted on Hell Razor, so Im sure they will be busy with their priority bands. Or who.knows, may be some other project, who.knows, depends all on them now.


13.Are there any newer influences that you have brought onto the new recording that you where not able to do on previous releases?
**No sir, no need to. Influences are always the same ones: Sarcofago,Beherit,Blasphemy and Archgoat.


14.Before we wrap up this interview, do you have any final words or thoughts?
**Thanks for the interview, big thanks for the Morboso Maniacs who supported us all these years, their endless support means alot to me. Support the real UG.I

  Morbosidad  are  a  band  from  Texas  that  has  been  around  for  more  than  25  years  and  plays  a  bestial  mixture  of  black,  death  and  war  metal  and  this  is  a  review  of  their  2018  album  "Corona  de  Epidemia"  which  will be  released  in  March  by  Nuclear  War  Now!  Productions.

  A  very  dark  and  evil  sounding  introduction  starts  off  the  album  before  going  into  more  of  a  heavier  direction  along  with  some  bestial  growls  a  few  seconds  later  which  also  get  very  demonic  at  times  and  when  the  music  speeds  up a   great  amount  of  blast  beats  and  war  metal  elements  can  be  heard.

  When  tremolo  picking  is  utilized  it  gives  the  songs  a  more  raw  feeling  while  black  metal screams  are  also  utilized  at  times  as  well  as  the  music  keeping  the  style  they  started  in  the  90's  but  also  adding  in  more  modern  brutality  along  with  all  of  the  musical  instruments  having  a  very  powerful  sound  to  them  along  with  the  songs  also  bringing  in  a  great  mixture  of  slow,  mid  paced  and  fast  parts  and  when  guitar  solos  and  leads  are  finally  utilized  they  are  done  in  a  very  chaotic  fashion.

  On  this  recording  Morbosidad  remain  true  to  their  bestial  mixture  of  war,  black,  and  death  metal,  the  production  sounds  very  dark  and  raw  while  the  lyrics  are  written  in  Spanish  and  cover  death,  war,  Anti  Christian  and  Satanism  themes.

  In  my  opinion  this  is  another  great  sounding  recording  from  Morbosidad  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  this  band,  you  should  enjoy  this  album.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "Muerte  Suicido"  "Cristo  en  Desgracia"  "Sepulcro  de  Cristo"  and  "D.E.P'.  8/5  out  of  10.
