Urn “Morbid Death and Birth of Unreleased Nightmares”

Label: Osmose Productions · Year: 2025

Urn makes its return after a rather long hiatus. This time, they bring with them a collection of troubled nightmares that you may have come across in different places before, but many of which you’ve probably never heard or seen. They’ve released a compilation album featuring previously unreleased tracks from their earlier full-length albums, as well as tracks from various singles, promo recordings, and splits. Osmose Records and Sulphuric must not have wanted these songs to be forgotten and wasted. According to the provided information:
• Tracks between 1 and 6 taken from The Nameless Wraith / Morbid Death split.
• Tracks between 7 and 10 taken from the Promo 1997 demo.
• Tracks 11-12 taken from the Promo 2005 demo.
• Tracks 13-14 (CD version only) taken from a spring 2006 recording session. Track 13 was previously unreleased. Track 14 appeared on Hellbangers Metal Forces (Iron Pegasus Records, 2008).

Most of these tracks truly reflect Urn’s old-school chainsaw speed metal-influenced black metal style. Considering these tracks weren’t on their full-length albums, I wouldn’t miss this compilation. Their new full-length album, titled Demon Steel, will be released on March 28 through Osmose Productions.
