zine # 9 A introdução desta DT é muito bonita,
chegando a ser dramática e o melhor de tudo é quando a
banda Morcrof começa a tocar, pois os músicos se
garantem em suas respectivas funções. Todas as músicas
são divididas em atos e no intervalo de cada um deles,
uma nova Intro surge. Os trabalhos dos vocais falados
foram bem elaborados e que quando se misturam com os
vocais guturais e instrumental competente, ganham um
brilho especial. Como bônus, a DT traz, numa versão ao
vivo, a música "The Forest Of N'Gay do Rotting
Christ. A capa é colorida e apresenta uma Sinopse,
dividida em Epígrafe, Epigrama, Epilogue e Epitáfio.
FLORESTA PAGÃ zine #1 Com esta
grande demo-tape do Morcrof podemos avaliar o teu grande
profissionalismo, as intros de música barroco, os vocais
são poderosos, e o som é um Black/Doom com partes que
lembram o progressivo, o Morcrof é formado por: Ludwick
Schölzel (vocais), P.Moura (baixo/vocais), R.Bressan
(guitarra), Nilo (guitarra suporte), C'Bontus (teclados)
e B.Gêne's Hajj-A (bateria / vocais). Os hinos tocados são,
"Portal To The Knowledge", "Buried Alive
Existence", "Nihilism (Profect Conjecture) e
"The Forest N'Gay" - um cover ao vivo do
glorioso Rotting Christ. Destaque para a primeira música
e a capa da demo que são ótimas.
ROCK BRIGATE #132 Doom/black
metal paulista dotado de extrema honestidade, mas que é
prejudicado pela produção imperfeita de demo Scientia
Ab Mortuus. A competência do sexteto é evidente,
principalmente no que se refere ao trabalho de teclados,
mas, por outro lado, os vocais exagerados e a
guitarra-base muito baixa na mixagem acabaram por minar
os esforços da banda. Outros pormenores para os quais o
conjunto tem que atentar são as introduções das músicas,
que ficaram um pouco longas demais e, por isso, cansam o
ouvinte. No entanto, ainda assim, fãs de bandas na linha
Bethlehem/Anathema devem tratar de conhecer o Morcrof,
pois, quando tiver à disposição recursos técnicos
mais condizentes, o grupo com certeza renderá bons
frutos. Ah, e a fita ainda traz um cover ao vivo do
Rotting Christ.
TESTAMENT zine #5 Primer
demo oficial de esta prometedora banda brasileña. Una
larga y melancólica introducción precede a primer tema,
que presenta riffs pesados bastante bien ejecutados, y
una conbinación de voces bien logradas. En general la
musica és bastante fluida y aunque el sonido no és de
lo mejor, la grabación permite apreciar vários detalles
de la música. Las letras si caracterizan por ser íntimas
y cabalísticas com toque de oscurudad.
SATANAEL zine More
Brazilian stuff for your ears! Morcrof is a band from São
Paolo and they have recorded this tape, which I guess is
their first demo tape. Although it's a bit old now, I
think it deserves a brief review due that for the people
outside the American Continent our scene is very unusual.
Anyway, I must admit that this is the only stuffs I've
received from them. "Scientia Ab Mortuus"
delivers four songs and between each tune is na intro.
One of the songs is in a live version. Music wise the
band stands in the path of old school death black metal,
maybe a little bit similar to what Murder rape did in
their second album, a kind of old Samael combined qith
the growling voice of, let's say Immolation. The sound is
very good as well as the presentation (colores cover).
Anyway, I must admit that the band doesn't show any
original or interesting idea, but however the music is
very played.
GARMONBOZIA zine Old stuff,
I know but there isn't any newer one from the band and
also I guess this piece is still worth the listening.
Maybe I could call it ( as they do) some kind of occult
metal but in a very dreamlike ( I mean
"velvet") form. Here we have three own tracks
with some "intros" before, between and after
them which are based on beautiful and emotional female
singing, spelling a vision of medieval nuns like glowing
flowers in a shaded and cold stone monastery. The songs
are something like epic death/doom metal with many
interesting keyboards melodies, a few different vocals
and pretty soft sound and fascinating, somehow broken
song-structure, a bit improvisative I guess. Also we can
hear a cover from ROTTING CHRIST which surely fits well
to their face. All in all, it's a pretty unique and
creative stuff ( and better realized than MALKUTH if we
talk about Brazilian ones) as it's usual with bands from
the third world. Absolutely worth those USD 6 /9/
LEDO TAKAS zine #3 - 1998 São Paulo
(Brazil) established six-piece delivers the first effort
since the inception in date 1992, consisting of one live
track as well as a complete studio session. Firstly:
production, mastering and surely recording lack an
elementary base - fact in that my tape received is not
the perfect example (that might damage a half of the
sound). But the other half is due to that poor
engineering, which makes every instrument sound like in a
water- closet, no better...
ETERNAL REST zine #3 - 1997 Brazilian
scene continue to offer interesting & promising bands
after the Sepultura's boom and, acts like: Mythological
Cold Tower, Serpent Rise or Oráculo, with these M. from
São Paulo, create a good "team" of rising
groups. Here we have a sympho-evocative black metal with
obscure & evil atmospheres, catchy & powerful
that you'll certainly enjoy. The tape is completely
written in Portuguese and, as final track of these 30
minutes there's also the space for a Rotting Christ's
cover...
BOWEDONE zine #1 - 1997 Dark,
atmospheric metal from the forests of Brazil... Sound
fine with me. This tape comes in color covers with a
lyric-sheet.
BLACK GOAT zine #2 - 1997 Morcrof
"Scientia Ab Mortuus" demo, another serious act
from the Brazilian scene, besides the legendary Sarcófago,
the Morcrof formation date from '92. The music stands for
slow melodious Dark Death Metal, the lyrics were based
upon the sad existence of this absurd life and humankind
before and after the mysterious of death as a last
step... There were included two vocals which gives a
different and real state of darkness to music that I say
before is well performed with a true feeling into what
they develops it, the tape include Intro / Midtros /
Outros kinds celestial choirs and music. Comes with pro
colored cover get this worthy from Paullus Moura.
ANCIENT CEREMONIES zine #2 - 1998 Well, I
will start with the sound in this tape... another
unprofessional release, which doesn't possess a very good
& clear production. This Brazilian. Plays doom, dark
music with a female and dark vocals. Some of those chants
and surroundfull spoken tunes don't give that extra
credit to the music... Also they are very similar with
Amen Corner's spoken parts... But what gives the boring
edge in Morcrof is the melodies in some introductions of
the songs and the guitar sound... And thinking they
charge $6 for a foreign order... I will not recommend
this by any means...
MORPHEUS zine #3 - 1998 This
release has to us from Brazil and presents a very
promising group. Morcrof seem to continue with their
pieces of work the tradition of the good bands, that have
been created in this country. They prefer to deal with
black metal in their own way. They perform mid-tempo
black metal, that uses a lot of melodies and epic parts,
while keyboards support and emphasize on them. The use of
flute in some songs also contributes to the good work and
causes a sensation, as its melodies remind of indian
music. Finally, I'd say this demo's a very good proposal
to all black metal fans. |
