Leper Colony - Those of the Morbid [CD]

What is best in death metal? Cool riffs and awesome vocals. Pounding drums and lyrics about horror movies. With their sophomore full-length, "Those of the Morbid", LEPER COLONOY deliver exactly what any adherent of classic death metal craves. This is hardly a surprise, given the scene icons behind this international act: LEPER COLONY came out of the wedding of German and Swedish death metal styles with classic American influences. This happened, when German vocalist Marc Grewe and Swedish guitarist Rogga Johansson decided to expand their friendship of many years and mutual love for old school death metal into creating an album together in 2020. The duo enlisted CONSUMPTION drummer Jon Skäre and lead-guitarist Kjetil Lyngahug (PAGANIZER) to record their self-titled debut album, which was released in 2023. The record was well received by critics and fans alike as it was obviously not just another 'super project', but a congregation of die-hard death metal fanatics coming up with a host of fresh ideas. German vocalist Marc Grewe has long-established his name as the former frontman of MORGOTH, and later with INSIDIOUS DISEASE as well as with the band ASINHELL. Guitarist and bass player Rogga Johansson has left a massive mark on Swedish death metal in a host of bands including PAGANIZER, RIBSPREADER, and REVOLTING. WOMBBATH guitarist Hakan Stuvemark has taken over lead guitar as a new member and he was joined by British drummer Jon Rudin, who is well-known from MONSTROUS and DEAD SUN among several other death metal acts. With "Those of the Morbid", LEPER COLONOY give old school death metal fanatics the very brutal and uncompromising album that they have been waiting for!
