Biography

There are several projects with this name: a French hip hop DJ; a Spanish dark ambient, martial & industrial project; an old school Swedish death metal band; a German 70’s jazz-rock / fusion (krautrock) band; a French progressive-metal band; a British folk-jazz duo, a Hungarian power-speed metal band, a Russian neoclassical project, the New York death metal band later known as Morpheus Descends… and many more, no doubt.

Morpheus is a solo project for Fernando Manchado since 1998, when his first demo, “Malkuth”, was self released as CD-ROM and cassette tape. Created entirely on a crumbling home computer with an 8-bit tracker, it managed nevertheless to attract the attention of local independent media due to the strength of its compositions, despite the bad quality of its sound. “Malkuth” was thus hailed as the first attempt in Spain at Apocalyptic Industrial-Dark Ambient-Ritual Musick, a genre pioneered by the legendary Swedish label Cold Meat Industry in the late eighties. The constant Crowleian and Gnostic references and the use of Hebrew mythology, however, were a departure from the military and authoritarian themes that overrule these styles and established Morpheus as a truly personal project and not a mere intent to clone his influences.

The first demo draft for “Ouroboros” -co-produced by La Defunción- soon followed, with a stronger industrial component and a greater deal of experimentation than that found on “Malkuth”.
