MoRkObOt Drummer Abducted By Space Pirates; Band Replaces Him

In a sudden turn of events for instrumental noise/space metal trio MoRkObOt, this week the band’s world famous drummer Len was abducted by Italian drummer-collecting space pirates and likely destroyed. So remaining members Lin and Lan quickly replaced Len with new skin-ripper Lon. Somehow very clear and disturbing details on this bizarre turning point in the band’s massive career have been documented on video, the incredible footage viewable below.

Lin, Lan and obviously Lon are now ready to take the brutally odd metallic monstrosities of MoRkObOt back to the people of Earth with the first new live appearances with the new lineup now confirmed. A full new continental invasion is being devised for the month of June as well, Earthlings of Europe. You are hereby warned.

MoRkObOt Live:

3/22/2013 Controsenso - Prato, Italy

4/06/2013 csa Baraonda - Segrate, Milan, Italy w/ Bologna Violenta

Additionally, at this time the unprecedented quartet of made up by Eraldo Bernocchi and MoRkObOt is locked in the studio for the recording of a mysterious album. More details will be announced in the coming weeks.

Having just returned from a massive European venture supporting Ufomammut, the talent and energy harnessed within the confines of the mysterious MORKOBOT clan is becoming vastly apparent to open-minded extreme music consumers and concertgoers as tons of live footage from multiple performances along of the 23-date tour routing is infesting the Internet this month. View some of the clips showcasing material from the Moro release at this location.

MORKOBOT is a totally suggestive instrumental sonic monster. A magmatic and liquid atmosphere lead the listener to a psychedelic and chaotic world in which vibrations become dense like glue, light and darkness are continuously turning in a nonstop changing lysergic noise. Musically, this Italian trio is the perfect mid-point between robotic mechanisms and organic humanity. From John Zorn to Black Sabbath, the Melvins vs. Dyse, Don Caballero meets Lightning Bolt in an alien delirium...

"...the performers lock into similar tight grinds as the bases for riffs and extrapolations, in near unison rather than one or the other taking off for a solo. 4/5" - All Music Guide

"Fully instrumental, Morkobot craft a sound that falls somewhere between stoner, doom, sludge, acid and...well...trance metal, if such a thing exists. They are masters of the groove, with an oddly toned bass very much dominant in the mix and very much utilized to its full extent. 4/5" - Music Emissions

"...the drumming is simply complex and technically advanced... Similarly, the bass-playing, despite the noisy and chaotic appearance of the basses, is based on repetition of compact ostinatos, which are solid and precisely executed. 4/5" - Sea of Tranquility

MORKOBOT: Revolutionary Italian Riff Manglers Now Streaming Entire Fourth LP

European Tour With Ufomammut Begins Tonight.

Since the dawn of the first galaxies, the voice of MORKOBOT has resounded solemn over the saturated atmospheres of the planets in evolution. Dominator of the magnetic strengths and ancestral regulator of the conscience flows, MORKOBOT has returned to the Earth through his three messengers Lin, Lan, Len, brutally subdued to his will.

MORKOBOT is a totally suggestive instrumental sonic monster. A magmatic and liquid atmosphere lead the listener to a psychedelic and chaotic world in which vibrations become dense like glue, light and darkness are continuously turning in a nonstop changing lysergic noise. Musically, this Italian trio is the perfect mid-point between robotic mechanisms and organic humanity. From John Zorn to Black Sabbath, the Melvins vs. Dyse, Don Caballero meets Lightning Bolt in an alien delirium... this is MORKOBOT.

2011 presents MORKOBOT bringing forth their heaviest, most focused and adventurous music ever. Enter, Morbo -- Latin for "disease." Consisting of seven cacophonous songs in which the psychedelic attitude of the first trilogy of MORKOBOT's albums -- Morkobot (2005), Mostro(2006), and Morto (2008) -- Morbo is dried to expose the bones and nerves of a more intricate, but at the same time more straightforward and focused sound, as always skillfully assembled simply by two bass guitars and a drum kit, and devoid of vocals.
