MROME was formed in 1995 by four elements joined in the frenzy of youth under the name Kingdom. They wanted to go there, from where others wish to run. The band recorded several demos and in 2001 their debut album “Transition“, the soundtrack to artless rebellion, disillusionment and naive satanism, which was never released. The band disbanded a year later. In 2009, vocalist, guitarist and lyricist Key V decided to continue as MROME. Soon after the original drummer P. and bass player LV’s joined the lineup. In 2024 bass player left and the new vocalist/lyricist aT joined.
As they say: „MROME is entirely a studio project focused on creative process and concepts behind the music, lyrics and graphics. We are not a touring band. We are not interested in promoting the band by lame photo sessions and social media. We reap the harvest on scorched soil“.
After resuming their activity, the band has released 3 albums so far:
- “Noetic Collision on the Roof of Hell” (2018, EEE recordings, USA) contains a strong anti-religious message as a reference to the lagacy of Kingdom,
- “Leech Ghetto” (2019, NRA, PL) is lyrically concerned more about prophetic content as greed, war and isolation.
- “Barbaric Values” (2022, NRA, PL) is a concept album based upon the moral and ethical conflict between socially imposed conditions and primordial nature of man.
Now, MROME is preparing for relasing new album titled “Boneyard Twist“.
It consist of 9 raw tracks recorded live in studio are a kind of return to dark roots of the band from the mid 90’s. The music inspired by the first wave black metal is complemented by unpleasant lyrics dealing with grave residents, history, disabilities of body and mind, necromancy and …monks exploding!
The music was recorded in a one-day session on November 18, 2023 at Heaven’s Sound Studio under the ear of Marcin Piekło, who also worked out the final sound of the album. Vocals were recorded in February 2024 at Piekłoniebo. The author of the painting used on the front cover is Mateusz Gawęda, but all was designed by Ataman Tolovy.
Album “Boneyard Twist” was released on June 23, 2025 digitally and on tape by NRA. NRA is part of the collective gathering around the Rusty Nails Museum, which is a co-op of spiritually disabled people associated with Piekłoniebo. Tapes are available for purchase on Bandcamp.
