A typical review for this band would probably start with something like: The dark tower on the border of Mordor, ruled by the Nazguls, crowded by Orcs etc. This catches the atmosphere the band MINAS MORGUL tries to build up on their third album Aus Blut gemacht pretty well. Just like one imagines the scene (not in the movies, in the book while reading) when the dark king leads his troops out of the big gate towards Minas Tirith. Dark, majestic, thundering and marching. Almost like that the music of our 5 Orc-assistants comes out of the stereo. Pretty bass-driven, thundering, riffs, but also sometimes faster and still pounding. Combined with the battle-cries of vocalist Rico one can feel shifted to the Lord Of The Rings. But not on the side that is usually focused. Here the dark side plays the major role. This might be the reason why the lyrics are very, maybe even too misanthropic. But imagine being an Orc, they just hate men. A little sour taste the lyrics leave behind, because they drift into a kind of avant-garde. But not like many other bands from this genre disappear in a kind of blablabla, here this problem is mostly well solved. Maybe this comes to my mind, because the lyrics are in the German language. Only one question comes to mind: why Eisenfaust is not consequently translated. The songwriter, namely L. Kilmister, would have been very amused about it I guess. But in any case a nice idea. Meanwhile I can recommend to the new Orc-apprentices the songs Meer Aus Blut Und Stahl and Aus Blut Gemacht. We meet us again on the fields of Pelenor.
