Houston black/death metal. Raw South American-influenced extremity.
Stockholm, Sweden's Morbus Chron formed in 2007 and released two full-lengths before disbanding in 2015. Their debut Sleepers in the Rift (2011) positioned them within the classic Swedish death metal revival, while Sweven (2014) on Century Media dramatically expanded their sound into progressive and psychedelic territory, earning widespread critical praise for its adventurous compositional ambition. Sweven stands as a creative high point of the 2010s Swedish death metal underground.
