Morne
Morne

As previously discussed, Morne is following up their stellar debut for Feral Ward, Untold Wait, with the new doom opus Asylum at their new home Profound Lore on 6/14. Sprawling and progressive without meandering, the furious and anthemic Asylum is their best work to date. Check out "Edge Of The Sky" (which makes its premiere here) and "My Return", both of which are downloadable above and streaming below. The new LP features guest shouts from the likes of Kris Force of Amber Asylum and the one and only Jarboe, who guests on the album closer "Volition".

Morne hits Union Pool on 4/23, one of only two US dates scheduled for the band so far. Morne will be joined by Belus and Batillus who will be celebrating their spanking new burner Furnace. The Batillus record is due in hard formats via Seventh Rule, but you can purchase an e-copy via the label for the very amenable price of "whatever you want". Pick up a copy of Furnace at the Seventh Rule bandcamp and stream the entire record, with the Morne tracks, below...

This indie doom metal trend, or whatever the hell it is has some how managed to be as uncreative as the idiot hipsters who shop at Beacons closet before the Crystal Castles Wavves shows like lemmings.

All this macho b.s. posturing is just fantastically silly.


I miss the original Don caballero who were Not metal and had variation, creativity to their music, and intelligence.

Swans it must be said were never metal even though some confused kids wearing their shirts like badges of approval think so. Completely laughable. Ask Gira what he thinks of this clone doom metal trend.

Totally un-KVLT.

This is totally not as cool as my demo... The cover is a picture of the zits on my fat fucking ass. Its casette only, and I only "pressed" two copies. Except i gave one to my mom.

Well 2:38 PM you better get off your ass in front of your laptop being self absorbed and take care of that metal zit ass of yours. Your mommy must be proud of your output in the entertainment world.
