Info: The brand new album from Sweden's finest – Morlocks: Praise the Iconoclast! Morlocks are legendary in Sweden. Not only for their absolutely stunning originality, but also for the fact that they managed to release 2 full length albums in 22 years only! '...For your Pleasure?’ (2001)' and 'The Outlaw of Fives' (2011).
Sweden's Morlocks create a bastard hybrid of heavy, guitar based industrial rock, retrofuturism & epic symphonics. On 'Praise the Iconoclast', the band took its unique sound to the next level, adding guest vocal appearances from KMFDM's Sascha Konietzko, their long time friend, dark ambient electro queen Karin My, and their drinking buddy: Black Metal maestro Heljarmadr of Grá/Dark Funeral. Absolutely do NOT miss the ‘showreel’ below!!!

Morlocks was founded in the late days of previous millennium in Gothenburg, Sweden by a bunch of very young, inexperienced teenage boys. They had some minor impact on the local electronic scene despite long hiatuses (sometimes years of complete silence) and a constant change of members. In 2003, the then only remaining founding member J.Strauss teamed up with partner in crime Innocentius Rabiatus from Swedish goth veterans Dark Side Cowboys. The result was a radical change in musical style; leaning more towards heavy, guitar based industrial rock with epic symphonic influences. This formula proved to be successful and some years later the 2nd Morlocks album "The Outlaw of Fives" was released to great reviews. Lots of concerts through Scandinavia followed, topped by a very well received performance at WGT in Leipzig, Germany. In 2013 they met, befriended and recruited multi talented bass player/vocalist Lamashtu and the trio has been the core of the band ever since.
As fate would have it, they also crossed paths with Sascha Konietzko from legendary KMFDM who took a liking to the band's sound and some kind of off-and-on collaboration started to grow. Morlocks provided remixes for the Käpt'n and also appeared on the album KUNST with the co-written song 'The Mess you Made', which quickly became a critic's and fan favorite.
