Morgoth was a German death metal band that was formed in 1987 by Rüdiger Hennecke and Carsten Otterbach in Meschede.

They recorded the Pits of Utumno demo on four tracks in 1988, which eventually led to the band being signed with Century Media, which had just started.

In 1989, Morgoth recorded their second demo Resurrection Absurd in a twenty-four-track studio, which was released by Century Media in the same year as an EP.

Nevertheless, most of the band members started to lose interest in an active music career and ventured in other directions.

In 2010 they reformed to participate in the Death Feast Open Air and confirmed that a 2011 "Cursed" reunion tour would be played.
