MORBUS CHRON “Sleepers In The Rift”

MORBUS CHRON
“Sleepers in the Rift”
(Pulverised)
There’s a buzz going on for this new Swedish death metal troupe. So much so that I tracked down their demo tape (yes, a tape) a couple of months back. With bands like Feral, Miasmal and a handful more the Swedish traditional death metal sound lives on. I like that a lot. It’s like being teleported back to another time when everything felt new and vibrant. It feels tired and old to keep mentioning the early 90s Swedish death metal scene but when these bands keep on persisting dragging it up there’s no other way to describe what Morbus Chron sounds like. Think early Grave, Dismember and Entombed dragged into the 21st century and you get a picture of what Morbus Chron might sound like. Being a Swedish death metal fan is just as fun today as it was in the 90s. Now leave me alone to listen to “Sleepers In The Rift” imagining that I’m 20 again. Anders Ekdahl
