Remarkable black metal rooted in hatred and evil
Let’s talk about a Mexican Black metal band Mordskog, they are from
Mexico city, they were formed in 2003, early this year they brought to us their
second full length called “XIII”. The sound of their music is obscure and
blaspheme, which reminds me quite a lot the style of the early nineties Black
metal scene, raw evil, negative, pure, corrosive and true, but clear at the
same time and incorporating an excellent drum sound.
With a classic sound, without the need for so much technique or complicated riffs, they were able to create a feeling of hatred and evil… as how Black metal should be like. The vocals sound tearing and raw with a solid conviction to transmit all the hatred expressed in the lyrics. You need to get prepare to listen this raw Black metal band, if you are expecting to listen something melodic within Mordskog sound, then you might be disappointed.
This sick sound was created with dissonance, putrefaction and darkness… Suitable for followers of the early works of bands like Darkthorne, Craft, Krieg, Pest (Swe) and some others alike to the true Black metal sound.

“Lautum Novedialem” which is the title for the first track, starts with
an arpeggio that has an eerie melancholy within, then you might think you’re
about to listen another DSBM band, but no! You are wrong, it’s followed by a
sick and dissonant riff that makes you delve into the immense evilness of the
first track. The second track titled “Nascentes Morimur” takes you into an
atmosphere full of darkness and evil falling in the classic structure of the
nineties Black metal sound, with a very rhythmic riff at the beginning,
followed by a dark and dissonant riff, this song takes you little by little
into a feeling of hatred and desolation, only three riffs are just enough to
make this track an unforgettable piece of raw Black metal. “Aequo Pulsat Pede”
the third song, speak by itself, what else I could possible say? This is a sick
and blaspheme track it reminds me the early works of Pest (Swe), the true
connoisseurs of Black metal will know what I mean doing such comparison.
“Pulvis Et Umbra” is the sickest track on this album, the drum work begins with
an unconditional beat in its structure with a remarked influence of Mayhem in
the riffing, something difficult to digest at first, but once you find the
meaning, this rarity becomes mysteriously sublime and makes you play it over
and over. “Mors Est Vitae Essentia” is the next track, this piece of darkness
is the most rhythmic song, with riffs to make you bang your head from beginning
to end. The sixth anthem “Ad Me Venite Mortui” is a piece of blasphemous Black
metal with a classic style of riffing and beats adding vomiting and tearing
vocals as a complement to this evocation, the acoustic end comes unpredictable.
“C.A.M” is the name of the seventh track, I do not know the meaning of these
acronyms… the only thing I know! Is the words I will use to describe this song;
A Deathcult Invocation!!! Which drag you to the next psalm titled “Mors Vincit
Omnia” is another crude Black metal piece, rhythmic, blasphemous and rotten
with riffs that provoke a feeling of despair and hate, with some influence of
Inquisition on the vocals, to finish this commendable work of contemporary raw
Black metal, Mordskog delivers a last theme to make us very clear the message
they tries to transmit throughout the whole album “Todos Ustedes Deben Morir
Esta Noche” which translate as follow “All of you must die Tonight”, some kind
of eerie passage good enough to break up any mortal.
Stay True... Stay Metal... Stay Brutal
