█ It's quite unusual that a new band's debut album █
█ makes you think that you listen to one of the very █
█ best bands that you've heard in a long time. █
█ MORTON's debut ôCome Read The Words Forbiddenö is █
█ one of those rare experiences, presenting a █
█ perfect blend of fresh melodic power metal, █
█ ranging from ultra-catchy midtempo rockers over █
█ furious speed to an almost doomy ending of the █
█ album. You'll find no fillers here, and the █
█ powerful, transparent sound is on international █
█ top level. Responsible therefore was singer Max, █
█ who is running his own studio and was producing █
█ many acts of Ukrainian rock- and metal scene. █
█ █
█ MORTON was founded as a pure studio project. Their █
█ first recording, an EP called ôGrimoireö, was made █
█ available for free download which caused a lot of █
█ attention to the new project. Its tracks äBlack █
█ Witchô, Oblivionô, äWerewolf Huntô and äGrimoireô █
█ now can be found on MORTON's official debut album, █
█ all in refined versions. Here you see the ambition █
█ of band leader Max Morton, who is putting his █
█ focus on all aspects and details. █
█ █
█ But MORTON should not long remain the project and █
█ turn into a real band, with a steady lineup, lots █
█ of live gigs, intense jam sessions in the █
█ rehearsal room. █
█ █
█ In November 2010 exactly this lineup was filming █
█ the first MORTON video clip ôSleeping Kingö. █
█ █
█ In early 2011 MORTON received an offer from a █
█ Japanese label. At that time the ôCome Read The █
█ Words Forbiddenö album was still in the making, █
█ but right after completing the works, MORTON █
█ signed a Japanese deal. █
█ █
█ ôCome Read The Words Forbiddenö was released in █
█ the middle of July in Japan and the Ukraine. Due █
█ to the missing of any kind of professional █
█ distribution structures, the band was handling the █
█ release in the Ukraine on their own. █
█ █
█ For the song äBrotherhood Of Lightô MORTON shortly █
█ after filmed an official live video clip, again █
█ proving that they have left the status of a █
█ project long behind them. █
█ █
█ If you like melodic power/heavy metal in the vein █
█ of Kamelot or Sonata Arctica's finest moments, you █
█ will love MORTON. ôCome Read The Words Forbiddenö █
█ is an infusion of fresh blood to the power metal █
█ genre. █
