Mouflon

The heavy and dark sound, characteristic for Mouflon, is a mix of old school death
metal and doom metal that causes a variation in songs with sound waves that make
many buildings tremble. Influenced by the old school bands but not acting like a
retro band, Mouflon bounces from one head banging moment to the next with a
sense of pure destruction! They play frantic and aggressive that results in a
violent straight-in-your-face wall of sound.
Debut album “Devastations” (2018) was well received in the national and
international press. In 2020 Mouflon signed a deal with Raw Skull Recordz
(Demigod, Just Before Dawn, Graceless, Altar) for their sophomore album “Pure
Filth” which was released on March 25th, 2022 and which got rave reviews as well
in the press.
Older, wiser, stronger and colder they returned rejuvenated and hungry. The new
album showcases their growing musical talent with a strong sound, relentlessly
brutal yet catchy material while retaining the group’s trademark old school
death metal heaviness. From the crushing opening track “Filth & Violence”, to the
closing driving doom monster “Mental Prison”, the devastating “Wolves Among The
Sheep” and the monumental death metal anthem “Ode To The Beast”, Mouflon have
transferred the classic trademarks into the year 2022. The ripping riffs, the
titanic roar of RJ, the pounding drumming and macabre atmosphere are Mouflon
from start to finish. The album has a sludgy feel and integrated devastatingly
slow passages along with obliterating overtures that reached far beyond any
point of mayhem, slow-as-hell-yet-fast-as-fuck. With lyrics that deal with the
sickness and perversion that lurks below the surface of human nature, this
fearsome pack-leading herd is here to haunt, taunt and fully pollute your
senses.
The band shared the stage with Asphyx, Massacre, Messiah, Pungent Stench
Unleashed, Gatecreeper, Blood Incantation, Altar, Zeal&Ardor, October Tide, Full Of
Hell and played at Eurosonic, Drachten Death fest, Valkhof fest, The Extreme
Assault Fest (Athens, Greece), Pitfest and Schoonebeek Death Fest.
