German death metal pioneers, Morgoth have announced the hiring of a new vocalist. It was announced that Karsten “Jagger” Jäger will take over vocal duties after the ousting of former singer Marc Grewe. Meanwhile, the band is hard at work on their upcoming album entitled, “Ungod.” Read on for more details.
From The Press Release
Since returning from a highly successful European tour with BOLT THROWER, German death metal pioneers MORGOTH have been working hard in the studio for their new album release, Ungod. Earlier this week however, the band revealed having parted ways with long-time vocalist Marc Grewe and commented: “The chance for a further cooperation between us simply wasn’t possible anymore”. In the meantime, MORGOTH has already announced that Karsten “Jagger” Jäger from Germany’s long-running metal act DISBELIEF will be handling the vocals on the upcoming album, as well as on all the next scheduled live shows for the band.
Ungod is currently being mixed, and a (rough mix) teaser of new MORGOTH music featuring Jagger on vocals has already been launched online here: https://soundcloud.com/centurymedia/morgoth-ungod-teaser-rough/
