Morgue City -- SOULLESS [The Noiz Temple]
review by: http://theonetruedeadangel.blogspot.com/

Houston's Morgue City are metal, yeah, but metal by way of old-school power-pop goth, with bass lines you'd expect to hear on a Joy Division or Bauhaus album, and a sheet-metal noise guitar aesthetic largely lifted from early Love and Rockets -- apparently I'm not the only one who still listens to all that whole-grain 80s goodness. In fact, the album frequently sounds like a lost album from that era overlaid with a more modern fondness for metallic guitars and heavy layers of distorted noise. With a rhythm section that's both tight and fluid and a twin-guitar attack that's heavy on texture and fuzzboxes, there's plenty of full-on metal power to the their sound, but at the same time, tracks like "The River" -- a song that wouldn't have been out of place on a Peter Murphy album -- make it clear they're coming from a distinctly un-metal background. They have plenty of goth's drama and bombast (not to mention plenty of those spidery bass lines), but the face-peeling guitars save them from turning twee, and their fondness for bands more rhythmically and tonally diverse than your average metal band ensures that there are plenty of good grooves happening throughout the album. It also doesn't hurt that they write actual songs, as opposed to stringing together riffs and pilfered sounds -- even though a lot of their influences are extremely clear, they still manage to integrate their influences into a cohesive new sound of their own. They even reference Coil, in a fashion, through the use of odd sound pieces that often serve to begin or end songs, always a welcome development in a band largely devoted to heavy music. I'll bet all the young pups weaned on screamo and nu-metal find them utterly confounding, but that's okay -- more bands should be this confounding, dig?

Morgue City is a Texas based band comprised of former members of M-87, Delicate Terror and Marfreles. The band has just released their debut disc entitled Soulless through Noiz Temple Records. After drowning myself in the album for a few days I've emerged unscathed and slightly amused. For the most part, Morgue City is a full on Metal ensemble hellbent on bringing back noisy music to the forefront. Fans of Lords Of The New Church, The Jesus Lizard and Bad Brains need only apply. That's not to say the rest of the world won't embrace Morgue City, but the large amount of effects used here might hamper those not familiar with the aforementioned. Personally, I'm not a huge fan of effects usage myself, specifically on vocal work - it hinders the listener from hearing the true voice of the frontman and more often than not, covers up the fact that he can't really sing. I can't say that's the case with Morgue City, as I've not really heard enough of vocalist, Roberts' true voice. However, the music on Soulless rips and more than makes up for it. "The River", "Nature Of The Beast" and "Where's The Disco At" are all tracks that'll get you up and out of your seat any day of the week and ready to ROCK! I recommend giving them a look, you might just find your next favorite band.

Da ‘Teve is rockin’ out to dis hard n’ heavy ass kickin’ band. I bet dey get more tang den’ day can handle with deir drum and guitar assault on da brain. Da ‘Teve would love to be at one of deir concerts so I could jump into da mosh pit with all da fine ladies and have dier lady humps & bumps rub up against me. Dis would be especially great on da opening jam “Bulletproof” in dat it’s a good song to grind to. It’s also a good song overall. In fact, da whole CD rocks, especially da tune “Nature of the Beast.” Da ‘Teve can’t help but ta sing Da nature of da ‘Teve” when ever dat song comes on. -- 'Teve (2007)

Who lives in Morgue City?
[band bio]

Morgue City is the brainchild of former M-87 and Southern Backtones musician Matt Roberts and drum noiz generator SPIKE the Percussionist, known for his work with Astrogenic Hallucinauting, Childman, Delicate Terror and most recently as the music director for the world renowned flesh suspension group CoRE - Constructs of Ritual Evolution.

The two men wanted to build their ideal band, combining their likes of everything from classical to jazz and gloom to power noiz with catchy lyrics, sophisticated beats, and musically diverse melodies. After a few months of writing and recording they decided some personnel needed to be added in order to bring the music to life. They began to audition several veteran musicians before choosing former Marfreles and Dirtymind bassist, Floyd Willis and Matt's former M-87 guitarist and Bozo Porno Circus bass player, Raul. The result is a musical conglomeration both hauntingly familiar and refreshingly new as well as powerful and beautifully dark.
