Morgul Blade are a band from Pennsylvania that plays an epic and melodic mixture of black and heavy metal and this is a review of their 2021 album "Fell Sorcery Abounds" which will be released in November by No Remorse Records.
Epic sounding synths start off the album and also mixes in with the heavier sections of the music at times. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style while the music also adds in a great amount of 80's era traditional metal elements and the vocals also add in a great amount of grim black metal screams.
All of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them while the black metal side of the music is also very heavily rooted in the 90's second wave era. Clear traditional metal style vocals can also be heard on some of the tracks along with a couple of songs also introducing acoustic guitars onto the album.
When the music speeds up a small amount of blast beats can be heard along with the riffs also adding in a decent amount of melody as well as a later song also being a ballad as the album progresses, stringed instruments can also be heard briefly and most of the music sticks to a mid tempo direction and a later track is also an instruemntal. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover J.R.R Tolkien's Middle Earth, History, Folklore, Magick and Might themes.
In my opinion Morgul Blade are a very great sounding epic and melodic mixture of black and heavy metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "A Last Waltz Of Gevaudan" "The Five Will Ride At Dawn" and "Fell Sorcery Abounds". 8 out of 10.
