ET MORIEMUR (CZ)

Existential doom | Established 2008 | CZ | Web

As apparent from, for instance, the second volume of Kniha kovu, doom metal is undoubtedly one of the cornerstones of Czech metal scene. Its tradition goes back to 1990s, when especially the North Moravia saw the emergence of the first wave of Czech doom metal bands, whose melancholic albums brought this specific style of “slow” metal into a wider recognition among local fans. With the onset of the new millennium, a second nexus crystalized, this time in Western Bohemia. And of its pillars are ET MORIEMUR, established in 2008. To those who recall the previous installments of MGCDF, this will be no unknown, since we already had the pleasure of hosting this outfit back in 2012, when ET MORIEMUR came with their debut “Cupio Dissolvi”, which was released a year earlier and gained for the band the second place in the Newcomer of the year category of Břitva Awards. In 2014 came the second full-length “Ex Nihilo In Nihilum” and its qualities brought in the nomination for the Anděl Award in the Hard and Heavy genre category, as well as bronze again in Břitva Awards, this time in the Album of the year segment. The following year saw the re-edition of the first title in their discography, the “Lacrimae Rerum” EP. This year shall see another expansion of discography, for in March, the third album “Epigrammata” shall be unleashed, and so it is no enigma what the return of ET MORIEMUR to our festival will be about. And we are surely looking forward to hearing this soundtrack for the absurdity of life and triviality of man once again. You do too!
