Mök is a black metal/crust punk band from Oslo, Norway. Our current lineup have been playing together for approximately 3 years, while the original lineup started out in 2006. Early incarnations of the band leaned towards black ’n roll elements - which is still very much present in the music, and doom elements - which is now more or less entirely removed. For the entire evolution of the lineup from start up until now, check out (www.metal-archives.com/bands/Mök/). Notable past members are; multi instrumentalist Øyvind Kvalvaagnes (Astaroth, Attentat, Kvalvaag, Valgaldr, Wendigo, ex-Arvas, ex-Dødsfall (live), ex-Nattefrost (live)) played bass from 2008-2012. He still steps in to play live gigs when needed. Also, Trish (Elände, Gestalte, Hinsides, Nidvind, Craft (live), Isvind (live), ex-DödsÄngel, Asagraum, ex-Djevelkult, ex-Gate to Khaos, ex-Skitliv, ex-Nattefrost (live)) played drums from 2013-2014, until she found other projects to focus her energy on. However, we would emphasis that Peter Pendragon (Moonlore, Thelma Love Fest), lead guitarist and main songwriter (2006-2009, 2010-2014), together with Oddasatan (ex-Aldri), drummer and songwriter (2006-2012), without doubt were the main contributors, until they decided to leave.

Throughout the time of existence, we have released two demos; one full length; and one EP. The first demo “Assie Tales” (Dec, 2008) is to be considered partly a black metal and doom project. It consists of 3 tracks, “King ov Kings” is a black metal song from the forests of old, while “Deadman” can best be described as disturbing black doom. The last track “We Are” is a mix of the two previously mentioned songs, with a notably black ’n roll vibe added to it. This energy is still living in the band today. Our second demo “Audiarrhea” (Dec, 2009) consisted of 2 tracks passing on the same musical aesthetics and attitude as the first demo, but with a somewhat enhanced musicianship and production, while still being a DIY style from start to finish. “Mökamorphosis”, our first full length, had to wait until May, 2012 to see the darkness of the night. It consisted of 7 tracks and was mastered by Tom Kvålsvoll (Sarkom, ex-DHG, ex-Nocturnal Breed) at Strype Audio, in the grey dirt in the midts of Oslo. Even though the sound and attitude by large remained, “Mökamorphosis” is firmly rooted in heavy rock/metal, while the black metal and doom influences pays a rare vist on some of the tracks. After the release of “Mökamorphosis”, we were trying to reencounter these missing musical styles, when making new tracks, spawing a couple of songs ("Furbon" and "Gypsy of the North”). Sadly they are lost, never to be recorded or heard again. 

Still doing the devils deeds after so many years, brings us to present time, and to our current release “Kamikaze Slug”. This is our fiercest, loudest and craziest record to date, thanks to our brilliant lineup; Petter Øes (ex-Cunt Junkies (live), ex-Bad Penny), Lee Keen (Vulvaniax), Hydrocephalus (ex-Råte, ex-Moonlore) and Entity von Mök (ex-Moonlore). It will be released on cassette by Snake Oil Kassettforlag in a limited 50x, and hit the streets early desember this year.
