MORMO
Dystopia
LP
Mormo is not new to this game. All members used to play in the legendary Greek crust band Dyspnea from Tyrnavos and they still carry the flame of that scene where back in the day bands like them, Xamos, The Malloy's Kids, Legal Pain, Social Security and others made noise and disrupted the quite life of this small rural town of central Greece. This thirst for extreme music gave birth to one of the most important DIY festivals of the country "Arm Your Desires" (RIP) where many bands that shaped the way we listen to music came from all over the world to perform (Ictus, Alpinist, Iskra and many more). After their first self-titled full length record, many shows in Greece and two European tours they are back for more. Dystopia is their second album and our second collaboration which is very personal to me, as I looked up to many of these bands younger and had the chance to share the stage with them with mine. After the years I consider them friends first and foremost, but also amazing and constantly evolving musicians. I believe that they have started a unique take on crust that centers on a more dark, esoteric and elegant sound that has transcended the constant d-beat pounding, fast paces and seer aggression of the genre with longer song structures, slower tempos, more complex songwriting and lots of atmosphere while still winking at the sound and aesthetics of beloved crust bands of the past. In my head, it’s like combining “Darker Days Ahead” by Tragedy with “Crack the Skye” by Mastodon, some black metal influences, krautrock rhythmic segments and lots of pagan myths of Thessaly. I think what ???µ? (Mormo) is doing to crust, is what Joy Division did to punk, but before crucifying me, please listen first.
