Description
MORDOM was formed in 2018 in San Diego, CA by Max Hoffman (bass, vocals) and Nathan Gonzalez (drums). Though Gonzalez didn’t play on the band’s demo Eternal Solitude (released in 2020 by Transylvanian recordings), Hoffman sought him out specifically to help write and play drums on the band’s new album CRY OF THE DYING WORLD. Together, the pair reworked the band’s sound, dropping guitars entirely and blending Finnish death/doom influences with sludge, crust punk, and post rock. Above all, the pair seeks to create metal that is simultaneously bleak, punishing, and emotionally moving, expressing living in a world being torn apart by hatred, greed, and climate change.
