Morgarten are a band from Switzerland that plays a melodic mixture of black and folk metal and this is a review of their 2021 album "Cry Of The Lost" which will be released in June by Inner Wound Recordings.
Nature sounds start off the album along with the sounds of a party before adding in some clean pagan vocals and percussion style instruments which also mixes in with the heavier sections of the songs. When the music speeds up a decent amount of blast beats can be heard and the keyboards also gives the songs more of a symphonic feeling.
Grim black metal screams are also a very huge part of the recording while the riffs also add in a great amount of melody. The songs also add in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with some tremolo picking also being added into some of the faster riffing and some of the tracks are also very long and epic in length.
When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style along with the bagpipes also bringing in elements of folk music when they are utilized. All of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them as well as one song also introducing female vocals and clean playing onto the album. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics are a concept album based upon the legend of Swiss hero called Arnold von Winkelried and important events in hid life during the medieval period.
In my opinion Morgarten are a very great sounding melodic and symphonic mixture of black and folk metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "To Victory" "Sons Of Darkness" "Die Or Fight" and "Meet The Almighty". 8 out of 10.
