Morgoth Releasing New Album "Ungod"

The deadly teutonic death metal force of Morgoth finally returns with a new studio album: "Ungod."

Due out March 30th in Europe and April 7th in North America via Century Media Records, "Ungod" will contain 11 tracks of dark and dismal death metal, combining the untamed ferocity of Morgoth's infamous EPs with the atmospheric density of the band's two legendary albums, "Cursed" and "Odium."

For a preview of this upcoming release, be sure to check out the new track "Black Enemy" below. Morgoth also had this to say:

"After 18 years we can finally present a first glimpse at our new full-length album, 'Ungod'! We started with the songwriting in January 2013 and finished the recording process by the end of December 2014. It was an awesome experience to go through the sometimes very complex and challenging process of writing and recording an album again.

"Our goal was to present some real Morgoth-style death metal, which closes the gap between 'Cursed' and 'Odium.' We hope that we have achieved this goal and our supporters and friends will like the final outcome.

"The idea behind the song 'Black Enemy' is that this evil force rests within all of us and all we can do is trying to keep that beast under control. The 'Black Enemy' represents the dark and destroying part inside of us and the lyrics deal with someone who is not able to control it anymore, committing a murder in the end."

The "Ungod" album was recorded, mixed, and mastered in November and December 2014 by Jörn Michutta and Matthias Klinkmann at Sound Division Tonstudio in the band's initial home-area of Sauerland / Germany, after having already successfully tested the studio for the "God Is Evil" EP.
