Buffalo, NY has spawned some death metal classics, including a gore-obsessed band you’ve probably heard of, so it’s no surprise that it’s the city to birth Morgue Terror. Formed just a handful of years ago, they’ve been hard at work since then, releasing two EPs and a four-way split. Now they’ve got a new single called “Cryptid Skin” and it’s been given the music video treatment today.
Speaking about Morgue Terror’s latest offering, guitarist Dave Jurenovich explains that he wanted to combine a range of death metal styles for “Cryptid Skin.”
“‘Cryptid Skin’ is my favorite song of the two I wrote for this year’s newest releases; ‘Feasting On The Dead’ is the other song,” he explains. “‘Gore Harvest’ and ‘Terror In The Morgue’ were written musically by our bassist Kevin. ‘Cryptid Skin’ is a blend of our styles: a little old school, a little slammy and some rare hints of melody (in the verse and chorus). Very groovy song that doesn’t get obscenely fast and is a mosher at some of our live shows.
“I wanted a fun, goofy, ironic playthrough. A death metal guitarist shooting a playthrough in cemeteries: brutal. Something fun, off the cusp and chaotic with an old school grainy film style. It all blended together across a few locations in Buffalo. It showcases my new Solar I’ve been exclusively playing since December of 2024.”
