Norwegian death metal conglomerate INSIDIOUS DISEASE, featuring current/former members from DIMMU BORGIR, MORGOTH, NILE, SUSPERIA and NAPALM DEATH, have joined Nuclear Blast and plan to release their awaited second full-length album, “After Death”, in the near future.

Today, the band has revealed the album artwork by Dan Seagrave and released a new track aptly titled ‘Enforcers of the Plague’. Watch the visualizer for the track now below.

“Groovy Greetings! Due to some obvious recent events, we’re a bit behind schedule on the new INSIDIOUS DISEASE album,” says founding guitarist Silenoz. “But here’s a taste of matured, chunky flesh for you to sink your teeth into! What could go better with the current times than a cut like ‘Enforcers of The Plague’?! Furthermore we’re very proud to announce our new home with Nuclear Blast Records and while we await the album release date to be announced in the near future, make sure to check in on our anti-social platforms to stay up to date on more incoming news! We will resume with further brutality when this virus shit is dealt with!”

Sonically inducing a depraved and morbid condition of the mind, INSIDIOUS DISEASE will return in 2020 to present their second full length album. Freshly signed to Nuclear Blast Records, the band convenes to create a modern venture into classic death metal. Still in the early stages of existence with only their debut album “Shadowcast (2010)” preceding, INSIDIOUS DISEASE are ripe with a hellish energy that seeks to sear its way across the universe of heavy metal. “It’s not supposed to be re-inventing the wheel or anything, it’s just about finding a good groove that we feel comfortable with,” explains Silenoz.

Line-up
Marc Grewe – Vocals
Sven Atle Kopperud (a.k.a. Silenoz) (Dimmu Borgir) – guitar
Terje Andersen (a.k.a. Cyrus) (Susperia) – guitar
Shane Embury (Napalm Death) – Bass
Tony Laureano (Devil’s Highway) – drums

Additional details about the new record will be announced in the coming months.

MORGOTH Say Goodbye Until Further Notice

Morgoth

Organisational and individual reasons have compelled MORGOTH to refrain from any further live activities.  A new record is not planned. The last scheduled live show will take place on June 8th at the Chronical Moshers Open Air in Germany.

The band made this decision after careful consideration.

Sebastian Swart: “Since a while it is difficult for us to act flexibly enough as a band. The main reason is that we all live spread all over Germany. My individual reasons are the fact that I suffer from massive and multiple hearing problems, and on top of that, I will be moving abroad for my work.“

The decision does not mean that MORGOTH will permanently split up, but all activities are being suspended at this time.

Harry Busse: “This decision was not an easy one for us, but at this point it is necessary to take this step. The initial idea back in 2011 was to play only a handful of shows to celebrate the 20th anniversary of “Cursed“. The fact that we went on for another seven years and would follow with a new studio album “Ungod“ wasn’t something that we had anticipated back then. We really enjoyed this time and want to thank all of our fans, Century Media Records and our management Clandestine Music for their support during these years.“
The show at Chronical Moshers Festival on June 8th will be the last forseeable chance for fans to see the band live.

Morgoth

German death metal pioneers MORGOTH, who returned triumphantly to the scene with last year’s highly praised comeback album “Ungod”, will be touring through Europe with INCANTATION in April! Check out the dates below.

In other news and due to the high demand for the band’s classic early releases, Century Media have just recently re-released the first two MLPs “Resurrection Absurd” (1989) and “The Eternal Fall” (1990), which showed the band still very much akin to bands like Death or Pestilence, as well as MORGOTH’s debut album “Cursed” (1991), a milestone in the career of the band and doubtlessly among the best Teutonic death metal albums ever.

Now especially mastered for vinyl by Patrick W. Engel / Temple Of Disharmony (Massacra, Grave, Possessed), the two MLPs and the debut album return in classy layout-editions widely resembling the original releases. Absolutely mandatory!

“Resurrection Absurd” vinyl color split:
Black vinyl: unlimited

Morgoth

Today, MORGOTH has released a lyric video for the track “Snakestate” off the upcoming album, Ungod. “Snakestate” perfectly displays the trademark sound and musical variety of Ungod, an album that turned out surprisingly diverse and fresh, capturing the essence of MORGOTH by blending the ferociousness of the band’s legendary EPs,Resurrection Absurd and The Eternal Fall, with the abysmal atmosphere of MORGOTH’s great classic albums, Cursed and Odium. Fans can listen to the track here:

For another preview of Ungod, be sure to check out the previously released single, “Black Enemy”:
