One of America's best (and only) entries into the doom/death metal sports stadium, Orange County California's Morgion was formed in 1990 by Jeremy Peto (vocals/bass), Dwayne Boardman (guitars/vocals) and Rhett Davis (drums). The "Fanatic Decay" demonstration and a 7" single called "Lampoon" appeared in ‘92 and ‘93, severally, just it wasn't until quaternary age later that the banding -- rounded out by guitar player Bobby Thomas and Ed Parker on keyboards -- managed to scotch a record deal with Relapse and release their full-length debut (already trey years in the fundament) named Among Majestic Ruin. With its epic sound-scapes of crawl, atmospheric, down-tuned, so far judiciously musical doom/death alloy, the album challenged English pioneers such as Paradise Lost and Katatonia for rank depressive, self-destructive strong belief, and light-emitting diode to touring stints for Morgion with the likes of Entombed and Autopsy. The band also found clock time to enter in a Celtic Frost tribute album and perform at the Milwaukee Metal Fest before recording 1999's even more cheering (if morbidly so) Solinari piece of music. By then, Thomas and Parker had been replaced by multi-instrumentalist Gary Griffith (guitars/keyboards) and the group seemed stronger than ever, only subsequent disagreements over touring plans and their musical direction resulted in an acrimonious and on the face of it final part of slipway. That is, until the dust settled and Morgion reunited in 2002 (minus origination member Peto, replaced by bassist Justin Christian) to start work on an as yet unreleased third record album.
