UMUR
"Dethroned" is the 2nd full-length studio album by Canadian death/black metal act Morgue. Just as the case was with "Flames and Blood (2010)", "Dethroned" is a self-released affair. The album was released in October 2011.

The music on the album is death metal with a slight blackened edge. The blackened edge is actually only audible when the brutal, processed and almost completely unintelligible growling vocals are replaced by a higher pitched sneering vocal style. Other than that I´d say this is death metal through and through (despite most band photos depicting the band in corpsepaint). "Dethroned" is the kind of death metal album that is enjoyable while it´s playing but not that memorable after it is finished. It´s brutal and punishing with good rythmic variation and also features a powerful sound production, but it lacks that last uniqueness to really stand out from the pack.

Still "Dethroned" is a solid death metal release and I´d say a 3 - 3.5 star (65%) rating is warranted.
