Moraines

About Me

Moraines is a four-piece "instru-metal" outfit formed in spring of 2007 by Petar (Mazüt, ex-S.o.M.) and Domagoj (ex-Ares). Drafts for first songs were created in the following months but the band was on hiatus until midwinter when Miro (Cojones) and Nikola (ex-Talason) joined the group. 2008 saw two croatian gigs supporting The Ocean Collective during their Eastern European tour, as well as recording of our four-track debut EP named "The perfect pantheon of absence" in July and self-releasing it later in the year. 2009 started with a couple of gigs with our good friends Emphasis, Talason and Kadet and sometime in May we unfortunately went on second hiatus after Miro decided to leave the group due to ongoing musical incompatibilities. In the fall of the same year we were fortunate enough to find Boris who quickly took hold of drumming and now the time has come to unleash our creative forces and make some new and better music!
