Exuviated: Morpheus orphan

10/04/12  ||  Curt

It always pisses me off when I have to look up the name of a band I’m about to listen to in a dictionary. For those of you, like me, who don’t know the definition of Exuviated, it is: “To shed (a skin or similar outer covering)”. Kind of like a snake I guess.

I know Morpheus is a Greek god, but damned if I know if he was an orphan or not.
After having to look up the name of the band in the dictionary, I honestly was not expecting much out of Morpheus Orphan. So, imagine my surprise when I heard some awesome Amon Amarth style mello-death. I mean, the songs aren’t quite in the same league, but they will have you banging your head and hitting the repeat button more often than you would think with such an unwieldy band name and title. I look forward to hearing more from these guys.

8/10. A pleasant surprise.
