A Tale of Woe is debut album from progressive death metal band Morna. The making of the album was announced in early summer of 2012 and release fell on May 2013. The whole making-of process was made by Morna itself, including engineering and producing. Conception of the album is created quite unusual. It contains ten songs - three of them are re-master of older songs from early recording, retrospective promo compilation called Succubus (2011) - and one of them, the last one, is an instrumental variation of ten-minute-long song in the middle of this conception. Hence, there are two hypothetical parts separated from one each other - first five songs, which have never been published before and three songs at the end of the album. Between these two parts there is one song which provides smooth overall impression of album story.

Artwork

The artwork of the album was created by Jakub Filip, the drummer. At first, it was simply drawn on paper and after that these complete sketches was digitized on computer by using graphic programs. It was made by Kristina Hulvakova, a girlfriend of guitarist Robert Ruman.
