Mors Cordis is different! 

The band is an integral part of the Berlin metal scene for over 20 years and are not afraid of cross-genre experimentation.  

Built on a mighty metal base with electronic, industrial and hip hop influences the band deals with a range of elements, which reflect in the lyrics too. The vocals move smoothly from growling and shouting to singing and rapping and add to the strength and complexity of music. The lyrics are both personal and critical (in English and German) and deal with sensitive issues of society. It is through these elements that Mors Cordis define their own style. It can be categorized as Alternative Metal.

Mors Cordis was founded in 1998. The current album “Ectopia Cordis” was released in 2020.

Gothic, Darkwave, Mittelalter und Neue Deutsche Todeskunst von Explizit Einsam. Gegründet wurde Explizit Einsam im Jahr 1992 von dem Musiker, Komponisten und Sänger Andreas Ohle mit dem Ziel, romantisch verträumte und traurig nachdenkliche Lieder zu schreiben um sich selbst zu finden. Explizit Einsam kombiniert Gothic und Darkwave mit mittelalterlichen und elektronischen Klängen. Die Songtexte sind eine Reise durch die Tiefe des inneren Ichs und handeln von Themen wie Tod, Einsamkeit, unerfüllter Liebe, Sinnlosigkeit des Lebens und Grausamkeit der eigenen Existenz.

From the fertile grounds of Tilburg (NL) rises new contemporary metal outit AUTARKH, a group of musical extremists dedicated to pushing the boundaries of the auditory senses. Autarkh is the brainchild of Michel Nienhuis, founding member and composer/guitarist of DODECAHEDRON.  Assault (CZ), Roadburn Festival (NL) and Eurosonic (NL) amongst others.

Death and illness was closing in on Dodecahedron, triggering a conceptual transformaton that was necessary to effectuate Nienhuis’ artstic development. In the fall of 2019 Nienhuis teamed up with producer Joris Bonis (Dodecahedron, Ulsect), guitarist David Luiten and electronic composer / producer Tijnn Verbruggen, a set of musicians with backgrounds ranging from metal to techno. Autarkh’s first full length album ‘Form In Motion’ will be released the 12th of March 2021 through Season of Mist records.

AUTARKH takes a unique position in the world of extreme metal. Synthetic, IDM-style beats and glitch effects – reminiscent of those produced by artists such as Aphex Twin and Autechre – are perfectly balanced with overwhelming riffs and vocals that range from dark growls and exasperating screams to semi-clean harmonies. Together with fluttering blast beats, dense bass lines and eerie soundscapes these elements produce an intense and crystal clear tunnel of sound where the energy of contrasting emotions is constantly felt.

‘Form In Motion’ feels like an evolution in both sound and lyrical content from the two albums Nienhuis released with Dodecahedron. Musically, because of the radical approach the band takes with their rhythm section; lyrically because the album is more about a personal experience of human nature and the nature of the universe. The album takes us from unraveling storms and destructive chaos to transformation, liberation and fundamental shifts in understanding in order to align with the divine. That progression is also present in a linear sense – the intrusive uneasiness the album starts with gives way to a sense of epic victory towards the end.

Give yourself the opportunity to dive into this radical exploration of sonic and spiritual ideas and allow yourself to get inspired by what AUTARKH has to offer.
