Morbus Chron was a death metal group originating from Stockholm, Sweden, whose name derived from a misspelled version of the illness Morbus Crohn.
History
The band was formed during their teenage years by Robert Andersson (vocals/guitar), Edvin Aftonfalk (guitar), and Stefan Johansson (drums), with Adam Lindmark joining later on bass. Following Johansson's exit, Lindmark transitioned to drums while Dag Landin took over bass duties. Initially, they issued a demo before launching their first EP, Splendour of Disease, in 2010. Their debut full-length album, Sleepers in the Rift, came out in 2011 through Pulverised Records. Later, Morbus Chron signed with Century Media, which released their second EP, A Saunter Through the Shroud (2012), and their sophomore album, Sweven (2014). The band ceased activity in 2015.
Reception
Daniel Ekeroth, author of Swedish Death Metal, recognized Morbus Chron as one of the rare acts truly innovating within the metal genre. The album Sweven received acclaim as an "essential" release, while the German publication Rock Hard likened Sleepers in the Rift to Entombed’s seminal Left Hand Path regarding its quality and ferocity.
