Back in the late 80's something sinister was stirring in the scenic town of Meschede in the Ruhr valley. That deathly manifestation turned out to be the mighty Morgoth and by 1991 they had become the pace setters for death metal in Germany. They were already creating a stir in the European underground as a result of two very strong EP's released in 1989 and 1990 respectively. They then unleashed Cursed, their debut album in April of 1991 and although there was a flood of amazing death metal albums released that year it still managed to hold it's own. Century Media re-issued this seminal album in 2006 and it succinctly represents the thunderous cacophony that Morgoth were at this time and it remains their career highpoint. They would go on to experiment with more industrial sounds on their second album Odium (1993) which only contained a handful of reasonable tracks. But avoid their third (and final) album at all costs, it rightly signalled the death knell for the band as they attempted to play some proto rock type rubbish and it even contained a dance/techno track. They subsequently called it a day in 1998.
Who knows what success the band may have achieved had they expanded on the promise that they displayed on this album. Cursed mixes the all out aggression of their first two EP's with some slowed down doom metal influences, so this album may not be to everyones taste. Two of the tracks even clock in at over six and seven minutes respectively. The album begins with a keyboard/orchestral intro which is rather pointless and is also strangely the title track. The other low point is the last track, a cover of `Darkness' by German electronic band Warning which is just a spoken word, guitar/keyboard infused mess. Aside from these misjudged indulgences the album is astonishingly heavy.... Read more ›

Morgoth's Cursed beauty

Format:Audio CD
my favorite morgoth cd and one of the best death releases ever. this is now pretty difficult to find but trust me, it's well worth the search; 9 tracks of darksome, fearful, horrific (you name it !) evil. alternating slow paced heaviness (a la obituary) with the usual death blasting fury this album offers a surprising variety for a musical genre that has now lapsed into total stupidity and childishness (any cannibal corpse/napalm death fans here???). this is what death metal should sound like and gosh what an awesome production!
the drumming present on this album is unique, while the vocals are morgoth's best (especially on 'opportunity is gone') where the vox become completely lifeless and scorch your soul mercilessly. "Cursed" is just as good as "cause of death", "blessed are the sick" and "onwards to golgotha".

This is one the best recordings ever! I'll been a fan of death metal for over 20 years. Morgoth was one of the original death metal bands that hooked me to the genre. I was fortunate enough to see the band perform live in concert while stationed over in Germany for the Army. I bought 'Cursed' when it was a new release, but lost it years ago. Thank God! I found the cd availible on Amazon. Morgoth doesn't compare to any other band. Great, original death metal! TH

Outstanding job here on the remaster. Everything sounds great. The whole line of Century Media remasters of Death metal (Grave,Morgoth, Asphyx etc) are simply outstanding. Nice bonus video attached here too. Buy them all, now !
