Media type: CD

Morgul covers as many bases as possible with All Dead Here, at times it succeeds and at times it simply sounds average. Morgul sounds like it could be the bastard child of Arcturus and Dimmu Borgir, it manages to be more adventurous than the former and more exciting than the latter and it's obvious that it has an obvious desire to stand out from the rest and be its own entity, but it seems like Morgul is still trying to find who it really is here, despite its many years of service in the underground. The title track is a definite highlight, with its haunting piano intro, which is totally mesmerizing. The album also succeeds in the way it delivers variety with its black metal inclinations, melodically symphonic segments, different vocal variations, somber atmospherics and some parts that tend to sound a bit industrial. But ultimately, it just doesn't achieve a high level of memorability, although many of the tracks do have a degree of catchiness.
