Swedish industrial act Morlocks return with 3rd album in 22 years: ‘Praise the Iconoclast’
(Photo by Krichan Wihlborg) Out on October 6th is the the brand new album from Sweden’s industrial rock act Morlocks: “Praise the Iconoclast”.
The Gothenburg-formed Morlocks are kinda legendary in Sweden as far as music goes but also because they managed to release 2 full length albums in 22 years only: “…For your Pleasure?” (2001)’ and “The Outlaw of Fives” (2011).
On “Praise the Iconoclast” you’ll also hear guest vocal appearances from KMFDM’s Sascha Konietzko, Karin My, and black metal vocalist Heljarmadr of Grá/Dark Funeral.
Morlocks has had a constant change of members over the years. 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. In 2013 they met, befriended and recruited the bass player/vocalist Lamashtu and the trio has been the core of the band ever since.
