Morgoth, a pivotal band in the death metal genre, has been delivering heavy, ominous sounds to the ears of metal enthusiasts since forming in Germany in 1987. Initially drawing influence from the burgeoning death metal scene, as well as thrash metal elements, Morgoth quickly established themselves with their early releases such as the EP "Resurrection Absurd" (1989) and "The Eternal Fall" (1990), which showcased their ability to blend aggression with a dark atmosphere. Their sound evolved over the years, incorporating more complex structures and experimentations, especially notable in albums like "Odium" (1993) and "Feel Sorry For The Fanatic" (1996), the latter of which saw the band taking a bold step into industrial and experimental territories.

Despite facing challenges, including hiatuses, Morgoth has maintained a significant legacy within the metal community. They celebrated their history with the release of "Cursed to Live" (2012), a live album commemorating the 20th anniversary of their influential album "Cursed" (1991). Their impact extends beyond their studio recordings, as Morgoth's performances have been praised for their intensity and ability to capture the raw essence of their music. The band's later releases, including "God Is Evil" (2014), a single, and their last studio album "Ungod" (2015), continued to showcase their dedication to the death metal genre while exploring new lyrical and thematic depths. Morgoth's journey through the realms of extreme music has left an indelible mark, influencing countless bands and earning them a respected place among the pioneers of death metal.
