Compilation of Early MORGION Material - God of Death & Disease - Out Now On Dark Descent Records

God of Death & Disease, a compilation disc featuring the earliest recordings from death metal legends MORGION, is now available via Dark Descent Records. Check out the webstore at www.DarkDescentRecords.com to order or visit DarkDescentRecords.bandcamp.com for a full album stream.

Before releasing three epic doom/death albums in the mid 90s into the early 2000s, MORGIONwas ugly. Ugly as in nasty, sweltering death metal. Before finally breaking through with their 1997 full-length debut, Among the Majestic Ruin, MORGION recorded two demos and an EP. These three recordings represent MORGION's early pure death metal roots. 1991's Rabid Decay demo, 1992's Live Rehearsal demo and 1993's Travesty EP. In all, over one hour of some of the darkest and nastiest recordings of the early 90's death metal scene finally compiled and wrapped in cover art by Mark Riddick. Carefully remastered by Ryan Butler of Arcane Digital.

In related news, MORGION has been announced for the 2013 installment of Maryland Death Fest. Originally slated to appear at this year's fest, MORGION was forced to bow out due to circumstances beyond their control. Check www.marylanddeathfest.com and www.morgion.com for updates and information.

MORGION Issues Update On Planned Maryland Death Fest Appearance

Drummer Rhett Davis of legendary death/doom outfit MORGION and California death horde GRAVEHILL has issued the following statement regarding MORGION's scheduled return at this year's Maryland Death Fest:

"It is with great regret that I must inform you all that MORGION must postpone our performance at this year's Maryland Death Fest, on Friday May 25th. Jeremy (Peto - Bass/Vocals) recently sustained a quite serious neck & back injury, serious enough to where he must undergo surgery and months of physical therapy. Needless to say we are all very concerned for his health and well-being, we must ask you to be patient with us just a lil' bit longer! On the positive, we have our Rabid Decay Demo - Live Rehearsal Demo - Travesty 7"EP re-release on CD  called God of Death & Decay on Dark Descent Records,  as well as the double gatefold  Solinari vinyl release on Parasitic Records  due before MDF! I do have to stress this is NOT a cancellation, this is a postponement... Our sincere apologies for this, but the circumstances are quite serious and we hope our fans/friends understand and wish Jeremy a speedy recovery!"

God of Death & Decay features MORGION's earliest recorded material, the Rabid Decay and Live Rehearsal Demos as well as the Travesty 7", and will be out in the Spring of 2012 via Dark Descent Records. Cover artwork (pictured below) was done by famed artist Mark Riddick.
