MORS VERUM "Canvas" CD

MORS VERUM "Canvas" CD (Transcending Obscurity Records 2026)

Forward-thinking Canadian band Mors Verum are giving their own interpretation to the death metal style, creating music that is simultaneously dissonant, progressive, and atmospheric. They've removed the shackles of the otherwise linear and niche style and have allowed their music to explore different realms whilst retaining the death metal sound along with its sharp dissonant edge. The result is absolutely riveting, with the music constantly alternating between throbbing discordant blasts and soothing passages, traversing worlds hitherto unexplored. The experience feels at once liberating and cathartic, as though having achieved epiphany after constant, dogged exploration. The lengthier song lengths never feel tedious either as the band embarks on their newfound path with relative ease and confidence. On "Canvas", they have adopted a fascinating approach to the style, one that is beautifully tempered yet adventurous enough to excite.
