SMORRAH is a Groove Thrash Metal band from Gelsenkirchen, Germany, that has been conquering the underground scene since its formation in 2017. Influenced by the rich working-class heritage of their hometown, known for its coal mining history, they bring an aggressive and dirty sound, reflecting their roots and life experiences.<\/p>\n

So we can get this interview off to a good start, could you tell us a bit about you and how you decided to join the world of heavy music?<\/p>\n

Marius: Hello and thank you for having us! We\u2019re SMORRAH from Gelsenkirchen, Germany and we\u2019re playing a dirty and aggressive mix of Thrash, Death and Groove Metal. We founded our very first bands 20 years ago and in 2017 we decided to move forward with a brand-new band and so we founded SMORRAH. Playing in a metal band became a no-brainer since we all got into heavy music at a very young age back in the old days. Awesome times and a lot of good memories. Hopefully there will be many more to come.<\/strong><\/p>\n

What’s the name Smorrah, anyway? I think it’s a very cool name, as it doesn’t sound like anything else and has a nice sonorous feel to it.<\/p>\n

Marius: The name comes from a local myth about a female\u00a0 demon called \u201cSmorra\u201d. It suffocates people at their sleep paralysis but it doesn\u2019t want to kill them. It\u2019s a story that have been told by our local coal miners for generations and we keep that heritage alive with our band name.<\/strong><\/p>\n
