MORFIN are starting with their second album, and this time they have ironed out all the previous criticisms. As a result, "Consumed By Evil" is an excellent old-school worship, provided that this slogan is limited to the US death of Death Metal: Death, Gorguts, the new representatives Skeletal Remains and the Dutch Pestilence branch. Already "Inoculation" has set the course of the course course. On the debut, however, there were some lengths and bumps, especially in the solos. "Consumed By Evil" now reduces everything to the point. Especially the guitar solos are now used furiously and very cool. Apart from that, however, this album is primarily intended to appeal to the people who "Scream Bloody Gore" or "Leprosy" have properly celebrated. Because MORFIN offer with their second output no more and no less. Early American Death Metal with a light impact from the thrash. Very well implemented. The fact that you have heard this one thousand times already, does not matter at this point. And even small innovations such as a blastbeat over the dry-dusted reef in "Carcinogenic Parasite" brings little new impulses. Yes, let's be honest: If we want to hear Death thought, we hear Obscura or Decrepit Birth. MORFIN serves the lower, primitive desires: simple death metal, full soup on the 12th raw, unbridled and full of fire. Under this aspect, "Consumed By Evil" has become an entertaining and entertaining album. Direct, brutal yet garnish with refined details. Only the submarine subtly inserted bass-barrels are really smart. But whether one needs the two instrumental "Illusions Of Horror" and "Posthumous" directly after each other, I doubt. Sure, the two songs show beautifully the skills of the string fraction. But in the album flow I could just as well do without. Otherwise, I can talk about "Consumed By Evil" only a little and moul. Okay, the strumming guitars of "Embodiment" or in the intro of "Illusions Of Horror" are louder than the rest of the song and in itself the production is rather muddy and weak. But it does not matter. The vibe of the disc is correct. And since I do not mind, MORFIN is just a very good worship of the old school! For example, Gruesome have blown out quite unimportant material. That's why Consumed By Evil is a great recommendation for fans of old Death, old Gorguts and old Pestilence. The whole thing is back in a traditional artwork, although this time less in the Locke more in the Seagrave style, on CD, classic vinyl and for the digital nomads also as a download. Choose your Destiny - and do not let the Grandpa think what the only true format is for you. Music is beautiful, in all shapes: *
