Background information about 'Morbid Desires'

Thirty-five years into their relentless journey, Norwegian black metal stalwarts Tulus return with their eighth full-length offering, "Morbid Desires", a masterclass in darkly infectious songcraft that proves these Nittedal veterans are far from running out of steam. This isn't just another black metal album – it's a testament to the enduring power of well-crafted darkness that burrows deep into your consciousness and refuses to let go. The album's nine tracks showcase Tulus at their most refined yet uncompromising, delivering their trademark blend of hellishly catchy riffs wrapped in concise mid-tempo compositions that feel both familiar and refreshingly vital.

What sets "Morbid Desires" apart is its remarkable diversity within the band's established framework. While Blodstrup's grim vocals anchor the proceedings with their characteristic menace, the album weaves in unexpected elements – flamenco flourishes, acoustic interludes, and beautifully chanted vocal passages that add layers of complexity to the band's sonic palette. The album's crowning achievement is undoubtedly "Sabbat", the longest and most ambitious track that serves as both closer and love letter to Black Sabbath. Recorded, mixed, and mastered by the legendary Andy La Rocque at Sonic Train Studios in Sweden, "Morbid Desires" captures Tulus in peak form, proving that true darkness never goes out of style.

For fans of:
Darkthrone, Satyricon, Mayhem, Celtic Frost, Bathory
