In the Hand of the Reaper

by Morbid Breath

supported by

poisonremedy Gradually building sparse and intentionally repetitive death/speed metal hybrid that burrows it's way slowly into your ears with a great ear for the right kind of repeater riff. Old school in all the right ways and doesn't put many feet wrong in it's low-fi early thrash/speed meets very early death metal ways. Favorite track: Beneath the Graves.

SoundMan73 Love at first listen! Production has a warm analog sound with old school tonalities. Very, very well done. Immediate purchase! Favorite track: Death Trap.

K. Hungus Lives Fucking Thrash Metal!!! \M/\M/ Favorite track: Beneath the Graves.

elhater Brutal amalgamation of the thrash ferocity with a touch of the putrid stench of death. Keep tabs on this band, am pretty sure they have a lot more to offer. Favorite track: Ancient Beasts.

projectoverfiend Thrash Fucking Metal!!

perverseosmosis Lots of good stuff here. Mostly fast? Check. Headbanging parts? Check. Straightforward guitar solos? Check. Evil voice? Check. Awesome logo and title? Check.

At times, it has a High on Fire sound and tempo. I recommend "Death Trap" or "In the Hand of the Reaper" is you are looking to sample.

I have probably listened to this release 10 times in the month since I bought it, and it is getting better each time.

Also, the t-shirt I bought is awesome. Favorite track: In the Hand of the Reaper.

about

Morbid Breath emerged in late summer of 2020 as a studio project by guitarist Stefan Carrillo to pay homage to early thrash metal legends Slayer. By the end of summer, the project began to take shape and forge it's own path once Marcus Eriksson (bass/vox), David Gustafsson (Drums) and Felix Klaesson (lead guitar) joined. The band began instantly writing new material and released their first single entitled, Hellbringer, on Halloween of the same year.

After spending the entire autumn in the rehearsal space, the four-piece entered the studio in December together with longtime friend Timmy Ternestål to begin the recording of their upcoming debut EP, In the Hand of the Reaper, which Redefining Darkness is excited to share with the Metal world this May.

The band's debut EP sounds like it could have come straight off a mix cassette tape in an 80's tape trade. Morbid Breath's approach takes it's cues from many of the usually suspects and does a great job of merging early Metallica, Slayer, and Venom with a bit of the Teutonic Thrash of Kreator and Sodom. In the Hand of the Reaper oozes authenticity and is a solid promise of what is to come in the future from this 4 piece!

Coagulating Darkness

Pretty much the best Black/Speed Metal I've listened to since I learned about Evil Invaders and Vulture. Everything you'd love to be reminded of about this musical era is there. The influences are what you'd expect too: Motörhead, Venom, Bathory, early Slayer, Celtic Frost; aggressive vocals, tortured guitar solos, pounding drums; everything is fast, clear and still a little grimy, but without reverb cranked up to the max. Amazing band, amazing album. Odiumediae
