  While Vorago seems to be split between Germany and Mexico, Morulus sounds like it is straight out of the early 1990s black metal underground, albeit with somewhat cleaner production.

  This album is scummy and evil-sounding. There are some occasional death-grunt vocals (e.g., track #4, "Negative Response"), but mostly it's black-metal screeching/snarling. They slow it down and change things up periodically, and those dynamics work really well. The songs are long and complex enough to always be interesting, but never drag on too long. There is also no small amount of hardcore punk energy here, but not so much that it overwhelms the black metal fundamentals.

  Morulus seems like the first album from this band. I hope they keep going, because I like this one a lot and would love to hear more from the band in the future.
