Morlocks (Swedish band)

Morlocks performed at many Swedish clubs and got a good reputation for energetic live shows, but internal struggles concerning creative disagreements and how the album was mixed ripped the band apart from within.

In 2010 they performed at the Parkbühne venue at Wave Gotik Treffen[2] in Leipzig, Germany as well as the festival ElektroStat[3] in Oslo, Norway and did a summer tour in Finland along with Finnish gothic metal act Vergil.

The album The Outlaw of Fives was eventually self released on CD in 2011 after years of re-recordings, technical issues and long breaks due to a member being abroad for an extended amount of time and the birth of a morlock baby.

The song The Mess You Made was co-written by Sascha Konietzko and Morlocks and appears on KMFDM's album of 2013, KUNST,[6] with lead vocals by J.Strauss and guitars by Innocentius Rabiatus and Jules Hodgson.

During the pesky global lockdown in 2021, Morlocks (now a trio again) dug up their gear, wiped off the rust, wrote a bunch of new songs to pass the time, summoned the appropriate jinns and recorded their third full length album Praise the Iconoclast.

The album, with Swedish dark electro queen Karin My, Heljarmadr of Grá/Dark Funeral and long time co-conspirator Sascha Konietzko on guest vocals, was finished in the spring of 2023 and almost immediately picked up by US label Metropolis Records for release to the masses in October the same year.
