Grotesk is the third album from French trio Morglbl. Their two previous albums brought them world wide acclaim for their intriguing amalgam of jazz and metal fused together with a strong dose of Zappa-esque humor. Morglbl was born in 1996 after noted guitarist Christophe Godin decided to form an instrumental fusion rock band. After meeting Jean Pierre Frelezeau (drums) and Ivan Rougny (bass), they decided to work together on the project. In 1997, Morglbl's first cd named "Ze Morglbl Trio!!" (IHL) was released and received good reactions from the French press. In 2000, Morglbl disbanded, and Christophe released one CD with metal band GNO, and became a worldwide in demand clinician. In 2004, Christophe started his first solo project, named Metal Kartoon, and asked Jean Pierre and Ivan to be part of the band. After hitting the road regularly with Metal Kartoon, Morglbl regrouped and started working on new material. They recorded their newest CD Grotesk and toured Russia, Italy, Germany, Holland, USA as well as France of course, where their popularity rapidly grew after the news of their reunion spread. With the release of Grotesk, Morglbl has created an album with cross genre appeal. Fans of shred and fusion Gods like Allan Holdsworth, Steve Vai or Freak Kitchen's Mattias IA Eklundh will find much to sink their teeth into.
