Morbus Grave is an Italian death metal band that has been the longest active of the three bands from this package. They formed in 2012 and have released three demos and a split with Lurking Terror.
After a short, eerie intro, this song kicks off into a fast-paced and energetic punky death metal song. The band's sound seems rooted in the early Stockholm sound of groups like Dismember, Nihilist and Grave. The first two songs are very fast, which makes it that much more shocking when the slowly grinding "The Horrible" comes on. There are moments where that one picks up the pace, but it's general sound is much more in the vein of death/doom bands like Cianide than the aforementioned speed merchants.
Morbus Grave is not the most interesting of the three bands from this short series, but they are decent enough. They do not do anything new or groundbreaking, but it is highly competent old-school sounding death metal. Nothing wrong with that.
