In 2000, morgan is introduced to singer, guitarist and composer terry horn. the result of this magical artistic union is the debut album "fairy tales from hell's caves", distributed in 2001 by german independent label nuclear blast/capiranha records.

Fairy tales is definitely a concept album: a trip throughout the dantean hell, tormented by passion, anguish and insanity, where the character of virgil is surprisingly replaced by an unusual bewitching vampire fairy.

in 2002 mandragora scream release their second album "a whisper of dew", distributed by nuclear blast. Once again a concept album, centred on the enthralling vampire story purposely written for the band by julio angel olivares merino, horror-gothic literature writer and “ english philosophy ” teacher at the spanish “universidad de jaen”. drawing inspiration from this tale, morgan has composed the entire album lyrics.
