Black metal outfit MORBIKON, the creative effort of guitarist/bassist Phil âLand Philâ Hall (Municipal Waste, Cannabis Corpse, Iron Reagan), with drummer Dave Witte (Municipal Waste, Discordance Axis), and vocalist Mathias âVrethâ LillmÃ¥ns (Finntroll, â¦And Oceans), has announced its first ever live appearances!
MORBIKON released their debut full-length Ov Mournful Twilight, last year via Tankcrimes. The project is guided by the second wave of Scandinaviaâs black metal and melodic death metal scenes of the â90s.
Issues Hall, âMORBIKON was started as a passion project between myself and my writing partner Quotidius in 2020 to express our love of early â90s black metal while simultaneously blowing off some steam trapped in a quarantine. Getting Dave Witte involved pushed the music to a new level, then an awesome opportunity came to work with the outstanding vocalist Mathias LillmÃ¥ns from the Finnish band Finntroll. We completed the album Ov Mournful Twilight in the middle of the pandemic not considering any live show prospects. Now, three years after the inception of the band, we finally have the opportunity to play the music live. Unfortunately, the logistics of bringing Mathias LillmÃ¥ns all the way from Finland has proved to be infeasible. Stepping into the role of vocalist will be original lyricist Quotidius. We are also welcoming guitarists Toby Swope (Psychosomatic) and Adam Guilliams (Cannabis Corpse). Drums will be handled by Dave Witte. We are looking forward to playing live and bringing these awesome tunes to everyone soon!â
