Morriah was a thrash metal band from Greenville, South Carolina. The band, consisting of Chief Spires on bass, Pete Hammoura on drums, Karl Sanders on guitar and Sonny Staford on vocals, was formed in 1983 and broke up some time before 1993, when Spires, Hammoura, and Sanders formed the brutal/technical death metal band Nile. The three have also played in several other metal bands of varying sub-genres throughout their careers. Nile was allegedly inspired to play death metal after Sanders was introduced to the genre by David Vincent from the band Morbid Angel, who are widely considered to be pioneers of the genre.

The band is notable due to the fact that after they broke up, Spires, Hammoura and Sanders went on to found one of the most popular brutal/technical death metal bands, Nile. The three have also played in several other metal bands of varying sub-genres throughout their careers. Nile was allegedly inspired to play death metal after Sanders was introduced to the genre by David Vincent from the band Morbid Angel, who are widely considered to be pioneers of the genre.


Morriah released at least one demo tape, called '''''Let the Sword Descend''''', before their break up. The demo contained five songs, being sold via mail order for six dollars. It eventually became a rare release, with none of the tracks having surfaced online for years.
