MORGOTH Premier “Voice Of Slumber” Live Video

German death metal pioneers, Morgoth, released their new studio album, Ungod, on March 30th in Europe. The album will be available April 7th in North America via Century Media Records.

Morgoth played four successful album release shows in Germany this past weekend and at the final show in Wermelskirchen the band shot a live video for the song “Voice Of Slumber”. The video was directed by Dirk Behlau for Pixeleye Interactive, who is known from his work with bands such as Arch Enemy, Sick Of It All, Dr. Living Dead! and others.

Ungod 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.

The atmosphere of Ungod was perfectly captured by Greek cover designer Seth Siro Anton (Paradise Lost, Soilwork, Moonspell, etc.), who transformed it into an eerie piece of delusion and despair.

Morgoth comments on the collaboration: “We are very happy to have worked with Seth for the cover artwork of the album. We knew it wouldn’t be very easy to put the title Ungod into a design that is vivid, brutal and aesthetic at the same time. We had received a couple of good different suggestions for the artwork, but Seth’s simply was the one who pictured exactly what was already in our minds. It can roughly be described as God drowning in the void, killing its own creation and becoming the “Ungod” – The dawn of the Antichrist.”

Morgoth recently parted ways with longtime vocalist Marc Grewe, who was replaced by Karsten “Jagger” Jäger (also in Disbelief). Jagger has already proven being the perfect fit for Morgoth on his live debut in December and his performance on Ungod will further solidify the choice.
