CD review MORGOTH "God is evil" 7"

(8/10) Morgoth was Germans No.1 death metal band. In the beginning of the 90's the band could stand against the the upcoming grunge trend and released real killers records like "Cursed" and "Odium". But the band disbanded in 1998 and it took till 2011 that Morgoth reunited. The main reason was the 20^st anniversary of the "Cursed". The Germans played several festivals. 

In the meantime another three years went by and Morgoth released a 7" with two brand new songs. The name of the single is "God is evil". Both songs, the title track and also "Die as deceiver" are aggressive death metal monsters. The 7" is a perfect comeback signal from one of the most important European death metal bands.

"God is evil" is quite fast with impressive leads. What I like most is the heavy grooving slow part halfway of the track. This is a very excellent break and gives the song something special. "Die as deceiver" isn't a whit worse than "God is evil". It easily keeps the high level, eventhough it is maybe a bit less complex. What fits both tunes very well is the thrash influences that are part of both songs. Slayer shines through here and there, which isn't something bad at all.

I like both tracks from this 7" and I hope for a new record pretty soon.
