Philadelphia-based death doom band Moros return with »Cemetery Hallucinations«, a ferocious new full-length, coming out March 13, 2026.
Formed in 2015 by guitarist and vocalist Jay Dost, bassist John Hauser, and drummer Drew Weston-Ball, Moros initially leaned toward a raw blend of sludge, punk energy, and doom. In their early years, the band focused on local shows, short tours, a debut demo, and several split EPs, before releasing their first full-length album »Weapon« in 2019 via Hidden Deity Records.
Soon after the first album, the world shut down and the band was dormant for a few years only releasing the self-produced EP »High As Fuck And Ready To Die«. Over the following years the band started shifting away from sludge and into a deeper extreme metal sound. “We gradually sharpened our writing style and focused on a more deadly, death doom-oriented sound,” explains Jay. After things started to open back up and the band regained their footing, Moros underwent a lineup change and brought in drummer Mike Howard. His addition injected a more violent drum attack and led to the 2025 release of »Recrudescent Horror« EP via Knife Hits. With this EP, Moros moved beyond its earlier punk infused sludge and centered more directly on death and black metal influences – a transformation that continues and fully crystallizes on »Cemetery Hallucinations«.
“We’ve been honing in on our sound beyond simply a sludge band with some death and black metal elements, we forged a much more fierce and focused approach in song writing,” says Jay. “»Cemetery Hallucinations« is the ultimate culmination of that process and truly feels like a brand new statement from us, rather than a continuation of where we came from.”
»Cemetery Hallucinations« was recorded in summer 2024 at Gradwell House Studio in Haddon Heights, New Jersey. It marked the band’s first time working in a fully professional studio environment. All the tracks were recorded live with overdubs for guitar and some additional vocal sessions.
»Cemetery Hallucinations« was mixed and engineered by Matt Weber at Gradwell House Studios and mastered by Arthur Rizk. Artwork and layout design were handled by Mike Howard and Julianne Cole.
Drawing inspiration from life in Philadelphia as well as bands such as Coffins, Autopsy, Bolt Thrower, and Archgoat, Moros also channel a deep love of horror cinema into their music. Members have previously been involved in projects including Occult 45, Fight Amp, Sunburster, and Nauseator, while current associated acts include Rid Of Me, Krieg, Malguist, and Antihælix.
