Moros Cemetery Hallucinations

Latest release from Philly based extreme metal act MOROS!

Moros is a Philadelphia-based Death Doom band formed in 2015 with Jay Dost on guitar and vocals, John Hauser on bass and backing vocals, and Drew Weston-Ball on drums. Their early sound was more sludge-influenced with a heavy dose of punk. The band focused on local shows, short tours, a first demo, and several split EPs. Their first full-length album, "Weapon," was released in 2019 on Hidden Deity. Soon after the first album, the world shut down, and the band was dormant for a few years, only releasing the self-produced EP "High As Fuck and Ready to Die". Over the following years, the band began shifting away from sludge toward a deeper extreme metal sound.
"We gradually sharpened our writing style and focused on a more deadly, Death Doom oriented sound" - Jay
After things began to reopen and the band regained its footing, Moros underwent a lineup change, bringing in drummer Mike Howard. His addition injected a more violent drum attack and led to the 2025 release of the "Recrudescent Horror" EP on Knife Hits. With this EP, Moros moved beyond its earlier punk-infused sludge and centered more directly on Death and Black Metal elements. That process continues on "Cemetery Hallucinations".
Moros cites life in Philadelphia, Coffins, Autopsy, Bolt Thrower, Archgoat, and horror movies as core influences. Past projects connected to members include Occult 45, Fight Amp, Sunburster, and Nauseator. Current associated projects include Rid Of Me, Krieg, Malguist, and ANTIHÆLIX.
Cemetery Hallucinations was mixed and engineered by Matt Weber at Gradwell House Studios and mastered by Arthur Rizk. Artwork and layout design were handled by Mike Howard and Julianne Cole.
