Mordenial - The Plague


The idea of plague is a striking one across human history. There is something inherently terrifying about the concept of you and everyone you konw falling victim to a massive plague that no one can really explain. It shows us a certain side of the human condiiton that I think many of us are more comfortable ignoring. So coming to terms with it in the context of a death metal record simply feels natural. The ferocious Swedish melodeath of Mordenial acts as the lens for these terrifying ideas and encourages the listener to pull back the veil.

Chock to the brim iwth angualr riffing, harsh vocals reminiscent of At The Gates and powerful melodic lines that would make Jesper Stromblad proud The Plague is a record that any fan of the founders of melodic death metal could get behind. They have clearly digested the approach of the Gothenburg scene and turned it into something that is truly their own. As much as Mordenial are not afraid to wear their influences on their collective sleeve you still get a sense throughout that this isn't a record that could hae come out any time other than 2017. The touches of death metal and the quality of the production remind us exactly who these guys are and what their musical context is, and I love it.

The Plague is great because of how it can sweep you up into its arms and make you really fall in love with the soundscapes provided. There is an otherworldly magic to these tracks and a demented teeth gnashing glory that you can't deny. Far more twisted than their musical ancestors The Plague sees Mordenial confronting a darker side of the human condition. While they certainly still can tighten up execution it's fascinating to hear a modern Swedish band creating an exciting take on a genre their countrymen made famous.

  1. I'm here to testify about what DR. OYAGU did for me. I have been suffering from (GENITAL HERPES VIRUS) disease for the past 2 years and had constant pain and inching, especially in my private part. During the first year, I had faith in God that i would be cured someday. This disease started circulating all over my body and I have been taking treatment from my doctor, few weeks ago I came across a testimony of Shayla Bosschart on the internet testifying about a Man called DR. OYAGU on how he cured her from 7 years HSV 2. And she also gave the email address of this man, advise anybody to contact him for help on any kind of diseases that he would be of help, so I emailed him telling him about my (HSV 2) he told me not to worry that I was going to be cured!! Well, I never doubted him I have faith he can cure me too,, DR. OYAGU prepared and sent me Healing Soap, roots and herbs which I took. In the first one week, I started experiencing changes all over me, after two weeks of using his Roots/ Herbs, Oil and Soap, I was totally cured. no more inching , pain on me anymore as DR. OYAGU assured me. After some time I went to my doctor to do another test behold the result came out negative. So friends my advise is if you have such disease or know anyone who suffers from it or any other disease like HPV, HBV, HIV, ALS, HBP, CANCER etc. you can contact DR. OYAGU for help via email} oyaguherbalhome@gmail.com visit his website https://oyaguspellcaster.wixsite.com/oyaguherbalhome whatsapp him through his mobile} +2348101755322. , Thanks once again DR.
