Germany’s mighty death metal giants Morgoth have released their first recording in 18 years. ‘God Is Evil’ has been released as a single along with one other new track via Century Media Records. Morgoth will soon be embarking on a European tour with Bolt Thrower. Read on for more details.
From The Press Release
God Is Evil, the long-awaited first studio recording since 1996 of Germany’s most influential death metal band, MORGOTH, has finally been released! The God Is Evil single contains two brand new studio tracks (the title track as well as “Die As Deceiver”), and comes with powerful artwork by Costin Chioreanu (https://twilight13media.com), who has also worked with bands such as ARCH ENEMY, GRAVE, DARKTHRONE, and many more.
Check out a video teaser containing recording studio footage for the release here:
To purchase God Is Evil, head over to iTunes for a digital copy or CM Distro for the 7″.
Next up, MORGOTH will team up with mighty BOLT THROWER for a European tour in September and October! In addition to God Is Evil, MORGOTH will also have two more classic releases out in time for the tour: the band’s legendary Pits Of Utumno demo from 1988 (to be re-issued on vinyl and digitally) and the infamous, long time unavailable Odium album from 1993 (to be re-released on CD, LP and as digital download). Stay tuned for more details coming soon!
