1. The metal band MORTO… Read Full Bio ↴Several artists have shared the name Morton:
1. The metal band MORTON (Ukraine) originates as the heavy/power-metal studio project of the respected Ukrainian sound-producer Max “Morton” Pasichnyk. The primary style that was chosen for the project was a blend of classic heavy-metal and modern power-metal. Later, with the band's growth, the style was greatly transformed and gained individuality, but even now heavy-metal basis can be felt in each song.
The debut MORTON release was called “Grimoire”. It included five tracks and was composed, performed, recorded and produced by Max himself. The material was spread freely in the internet.
While recording the songs, Max gathered the live line-up and MORTON project began it's transformation into MORTON band. Playing live, intensively rehearsing and working on the new material, MORTON gained respect as one of the hardest-working and fast-growing Ukrainian metal bands.
In November, 2010, MORTON presented their debut music video “Sleeping King”. The videoclip received lots of positive feedback from both listeners and musicians all over the world. To secure and enhance it's success, the band has concentrated on the recording of their full-length album, which took Winter and Spring to finish.
At Summer, 2011, MORTON debut album "Come Read The Words Forbidden" was released in Ukraine and Japan. Supporting their new release, the band has presented their official live video for "Brotherhood of Light".
A few months later, in October, "Come Read The Words Forbidden" was released worldwide by AFM Records. In November 2011, it was also was released in Russia, thus finally covering each and every corner of the Earth.
MORTON is about to release their new music video "Weeping Bell" and then will enter the studio to record their second full-length album.
2. Morton (Germany) was an experimental/dark metal collaboration between Zoltan Carnovash (Mathias Grassow, Nord, Anam Cara) and Edward Longshanks. 4 demos are known of: Lycantroph (1996), Surtalogi (2000), The Norsefolk (2000) and Poltergeist Over England (2002)
Oblivion
Morton Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hear the crying steel when the paladins travel far
One and only choice, over conscience – made with pure heart
And among the ways, there is one that leads to the heaven's gate
Each of us will fight
For eternal light
Will we be forgiven?
When we meet our fate,
Shine our thorny way
Straight to the Oblivion
Let the clericks sing while our hammers bring love to our foes
God is watching us, hilt of sword is just another cross
When we pass away, let the myth remain in the depth of time
In the darkest hour keep us in your heart – fighters for the light
We will bring the rest
To the ones who blessed
With the swift salvation
With the Holy Words
We rely on swords
Seeking expiation
Each of us will fight
For eternal light
Will we be forgiven?
When we meet our fate,
Keep the open gate
Paradise or Hell
Is the same Oblivion
The song "Oblivion" by Morton is an anthem to the battle of good versus evil, a classic tale of light triumphing over darkness. The lyrics allude to the struggle that these righteous soldiers face, and how each of them must fight for eternal light. The song is a call to arms, a plea to all those who fight for the just and the righteous, to embrace their destiny, and fight with each breath and every last drop of blood, if needs be.
The opening line, "Blessed by the blood, raise your red and white banners to the sky," encourages the listener to embrace the power and righteousness of their God, or whatever higher power they might believe in, and to use it as a weapon against their foes. The song speaks of the warriors who travel far and wide, protecting their people with all their might, and going beyond their own conscience to defend the greater good. They believe that among the different paths one can take, there is only one that leads to heaven's gate, and it is their duty to tread that path.
The chorus, "Each of us will fight, for eternal light, will we be forgiven?" speaks directly to the concern of whether or not their actions will be justified by their God. The bridge, "We rely on swords, seeking expiation," emphasizes the idea that they are fighting not just for their people, but also for their own salvation.
