BAND NAME: Morkerod
GENRE: Depressive Unblack Metal / DSBM / Experimental / Post-Black / Ambient
STATUS: Active
LOCATION: Russia
Formed in early 2024 (either 19 February or earlier).
Update 6 September: He's alive and the band is active again. He thanks us for the prayers.
Morkerod is highly influenced by Daemon's personal struggles in life. His dad was an alcoholic with schizophrenia, and thus was raised mostly by his mother. He once had to beat up his dad in self-defense. Four years later, Daemon was sent to a psychiatric hospital for treatment when he too was diagnosed with schizophrenia. He tried to reconnect with his dad, but his dad died 8 months later of heart problems. He converted from Satanism to Orthodox Christianity in 2019. However the following year, he went through a crisis and attempted suicide. Surviving, he created a secular band called "That Distant Void" in 2022. In 2023, he returned to Christianity, ultimately splitting up "That Distant Void" and starting "Morkerod". All of this info was taken from [this review], and comes from Daemon himself.
The writer of the review encourages people dealing with suicidal thoughts to not isolate, and instead to seek help, such as through suicide hotline numbers (USA, international). They also link to [CCEF], a Christian counseling resource. Note that I myself have been suicidal too, but I have never personally used this service, so I can't personally comment on how good it is.

"The lyrical hero of the composition, although he positioned himself as a believer, was a good, decent person, but in fact he suffered greatly from lack of faith.
Having died without repentance, our hero goes to limbo - the first circle of hell, described in 'The Divine Comedy' by Dante Alighieri, in which the righteous languish, deprived of faith in the true One God."

"I have done many wrong things in my life, but I repent, I really want to change. I am ready for possible punishment for everything I've done, but I trust in God's mercy."
About the new version, Daemon says:
"This single already took place on April 8, 2024, under the same title, but in Latin.
Here, a higher-quality re-recording and a change of some parts were made."

About SneeuwStorm: One version of the CD-R is in a standard jewel case (opaque tray) with a single-page insert. The other version has a fully clear/transparent case, and has a booklet. This booklet version is limited to 40 copies.
Originally planned to be an album featuring 2 more tracks. It was also going to feature two collaborations: Василием Дуганом (vocals) and Григорием Романовым (instrument unknown). However, all of this was canceled and it was released as an EP without guests.
Tracks 4 and 5 are re-recordings of songs from his old band "That Distant Void".
A note on Bandcamp used to read, "Crawling like a worm in a world of sins."
1) Peccatum
6:19, lyrics:
Fight against myself
In the crypt of insignificance
In the light of ugliness
Crawling like a worm
In a world of sins
Impurity
Corruption
Doomed
To commit
Self-destruction
By sin
Endlessly
Dreams of human's sleep
Are dreams of relief
A gates out of hell
Into the void of death
It's follows me
In my dreams
Cannot sleep
Without thoughts
Of my deeds
Fading shining
Can see no light
No God's eye
No God's eye
2) Ira Dei
5:16, lyrics:
Righteous wrath
Of Lord
Embrace the world
Fiery rain
Fell on Sodom
And Gomorrah
All who don't
Repent
Will be put
To the death
Ax is prepared
For them all
Fire of hell
Burn them all
Eternal night
So above
So below
Suffocate in passions
Wrath
Death
Fiery rain
Fell on Earth
Fire of hell
Burn them all
Do not hesitate
To repent
Leave past
Far behind
3) Poenitentia
5:18, lyrics:
I'm so sinful
It's scares me
Glory doesn't shine
To me
The judgment
Of God
Be gracious
I hope
But my life
Shines with dark
I want to change
My penance is hard
Angels will cry
Sorry for me
Heaven rain
Drops I'll breathe in
Heaven or hell
I'm not who decides
I hope He'll hear
My cries
I beg for forgiveness
Forgive me
4) Flesh and Blood Will Turn to Dust
5:15, lyrics:
On the other side
Gardens bloom
Glory shines
Glory to God
On the other side
Angels sing
And pray to God
For weak
After death
Dissolving in
The skies
We'll be there
Where is
Gardens bloom
Where is
Glory to God
Where is
Angels sing
Where is
No disease
Holy God
Holy Mighty
Holy Immortal
Have mercy on us
5) Limbo
7:38, lyrics:
Abandon hope,
all who enter here
Charon's boat
Starts the way
Where are demons
Stuck to cry
Me, believer
But not good
Embraced
By the dark
See no longer
Way from this
Just leave me
Die in peace
No way out
All I can is
To mourn
Forever
Nothing left
But my past
My forfeit
I can't cry
No more eyes
Dropping tears
Only sorrow
Captive fears

About the CD-Rs, it's the exact same story as the two versions of "Severity".
1) Satanic Decomposition
7:49, lyrics:
I walked away from half of life
Only shadows met me there
So many written and done
Now just sleeping in hell eternal
Hell swallowing me
Gnawing to the bones
All I can see is fire
Satanic forge
Dark walk in the shadows
Tree color is only black
Trip of torment
For heresy
Deny this way
Embrace the Christ
There is no power in hell
Satan's just the beast
Crush evil within
Your chains are broken
Just let it go
And inhale freedom
Satanic lies isn't deserve
To be written and token
Living in it just killing
And tearing apart
2) Soul Necrosis
6:13, lyrics:
Numb existence
Tearing soul
Covered with sores
Unhappy doom
Sadness drowning me
I don’t wanna live
A Godless places
Sorrows I breathe
Sadness drowning me
I’m afraid of death
All my cries in vain
So deep pain
It stains my soul
It leaves me cold
I can feel
My downfall
Sadness drowning me
I don’t wanna live
A Godless places
Sorrows I breathe
Sadness drowning me
I’m afraid of death
All my cries in vain
So deep pain
So deep pain
3) Shards of Faith
5:06, lyrics:
God!
Give me strength
Save my soul
Deliver me
From evil
Overcoming
Obsession
Feeling the touch
Of your hand
Embracing the light
I renounce from sin
I hope I will save
My shards of faith
God and I
Will be one
In his flesh
And blood
Let me feel
Your being
Your mighty
Your touch
4) Merciful Lord
3:56, lyrics:
Oh, Lord my God
I beg for you to forgive me
I could say a thousand words
Trying to open Heaven's doors
Should I follow you
To Golgotha?
Should I die for you
For my faith in you?
I follow you through ice and fire
I follow you to the better
Your presence is with me
But I am overshadowed
This was not what I desired
But I'm just your creation
I want to be loved
By my merciful Lord
5) One Man's War
6:28, lyrics:
In God’s reflection
His providence
Only freedom
In it
But I’m chained
By sin
And I can’t
Brake fetters
Overcoming passions
For eternal life
God’s purity is
Even in me
Just open
Your spirit
And follow
His will
Slowly
With short steps
I will come
To Heaven
Battlefield within
My soul
This is my
Personal war

+ ОФИЦИАЛЬНЫЕ РУССКИЕ ПЕРЕВОДЫ +
Ох, Боже!
Дай мне сил / Сберечь свою душу / И в сердце моем / Вытравить скверну
Одолев одержимости / Я ощущаю руку Твою
Принимая света белый / Я отрекаюсь от всякого зла
Я очень надеюсь / Часть веры сберечь / Стать единым / С Богом во всем
Так дай ощутить / Твое существо / Мощь Твою / Касанье Твое
