Formed in 2015 by guitarist and vocalist Jay Dost, bassist John Hauser, and drummer Drew Weston-Ball, MOROS initially leaned toward a raw blend of sludge, punk energy, and doom. In their early years, the band focused on local shows, short tours, a debut demo, and several split EPs, before releasing their first full-length album "Weapon" in 2019 via Hidden Deity Records. "We've been honing in on our sound beyond simply a sludge band with some death and black metal elements, we forged a much more fierce and focused approach in song writing," says Jay. "Cemetery Hallucinations" is the ultimate culmination of that process and truly feels like a brand-new statement from us, rather than a continuation of where we came from."

The album has eight tracks, and "Wasted Burial" is first. The riff that drops is weighted, and down-tuned, and the song crawls forward with horrid gutturals. It's not complicated, but it is deadly in its delivery. For me, it sounds like a very cold and sterile cemetery. "Drowned and Decomposed Remains" rumbles with low end energy and brutality, and the title of the song matches the music. The pacing is almost hypnotic at times, and if you let it sink in, it may turn you as a disease takes root. "Terrors of the Flesh" sounds like someone being tortured by peeling off his flesh one layer at a time, and the low end of the song rumbles like a large engine trying to kick over and start. The title track has more ummph to it, and it rounds the corner like an old bus full of the undead as it careers towards you. You better start running or get the hell out of the way.

"Abnormal Profusion" has plenty of low-end power, and tortured vocals. The pacing slows as it moves to a near crawl, and that allows the sound to sink deeper and deeper. "The Pool" features thick, meaty bass notes along with the massive riff and raging vocals. "Cretin" closes the album, and it's another slow mover with a lot of power. Overall, this was a solid album. The band's focus on the deep end of their sound keeps the riffs sounding massive, and towering. Add in the bass, which thickens it up further, and the vocals, which are raging and tortured, and you have a recipe for a good listening experience.
