After five years of silence Spanish modern metal band Morphium has returned with brand new album “The Fall”, collaborating with the local music label Art Gates. This is their fourth full-length album during the 16-years existence, and it is closer to alternative metal scene of the past (even the sound perfectly fits into alt. metal conception of the 2000s), but in a contemporary sense of perception, still fresh and pertinent for current ever-changing music culture.
These Spanish metalheads are difficult to categorize thoroughly, although their music is based in a realm of metal, it still inclines to metalcore and modern rock principles, as well as electro/gothic vibes. Nonetheless, the core of “The Fall” is solid and confident melodic death metal, but not very classical one, spreading the branches of many extreme music subgenres. But they entwine this stylistic interspersing accurately and aptly, so the music flows in so a natural way without drastic changes or explicit highlights. “The Fall” is quite an integral album without dramatic experimentation.
