Today we have the privilege of sharing an early stream of “Lusting Terror” the second preview song taken from ‘Feasting the Macabre‘, the sophomore full-length album from Milan, Italy-based “rotting ancient” death metal quartet MORBUS GRAVE. Formed in 2010, formally active beyond 2016 and landing upon the right line-up around 2021 these folks have long envisioned their own contribution to the original thread of death metal in the 80’s as an arcane, violent outlet centered around ex-thrasher riffing and morbid concepts. With this second album these folks have honed in on the sinister dread and olden atmosphere of underground death metal and lent a sickening level of performance to it that’ll impress fans of early Necrophagia, Death, and Death Strike among others. “Lusting Terror” arrives at mid-point juncture in the album where you’ll have gotten a good idea what to expect from ‘Feasting the Macabre‘ before the album takes its darker turn, expanding into doomed and fiery pieces which further explore vocal cadence which follows the grind of the guitar progressions. This song is no less of a shambling corpse, a zombified but still energetic death metal song which rides in swinging an amputated limb, blasting and dooming-out in its vile ride through. As I said back in 2022 for their debut, you can expect “pure, old and ugly death metal without needing extra qualifiers” from these guys and I think this song does a great job of building up those expectations in a way which fans of deep-rooted underground classics will appreciate most.

Thanks goes out to MORBUS GRAVE, Memento Mori and their representation for the opportunity to share this song early.

Bio and description:
MORBUS GRAVE was spawned by A. Th and Erman in 2010 with the goal to exhume rotting, ancient Death Metal influenced by primordial bands such as Death, Possessed, Carnage, Sadistic Intent, Incubus, Malevolent Creation, Celtic Frost, Morbid Angel and Slayer. Due to lack of time, A. Th left the band and Erman was left to continue the path by himself. In early 2015, Erman found the right replacement in Maso on guitars/bass and Pide Guts on drums. This lineup recorded the band’s debut demo, “Throne of Disgust “, which was released in early 2016. Although the lineup was completed with Eros and Edy later in the year, the band seemed to vanish in thin air. After a couple of years of lethargy and many a lineup change, the grave was dug up once again and the band put out some more minor releases on a number of estimable underground labels over the years, steadily getting their craft honed in preparation for their debut full-length, which was ultimately released in 2021. Now a five-headed abomination consisting of Erman (vocals), Edy (guitar), Magiko (guitar), Danny (drums) and Eros (bass), MORBUS GRAVE are back with their second deadly strike.
