Swedish Industrial Outfit MORLOCKS to Release New Album “Praise the Iconoclast”

Sweden’s industrial stalwarts Morlocks turn the art of comically performative seduction into a parody of warmongering in their blistering satirical gem “Dicks In Tanks.” Making the obvious parallels between lovin’ spoonfuls and bullet showers, this eight-minute war film skewers the toxic trait of violent dominance in a comically over-the-top delivery. If Spinal Tap and Metallica joined forces with Motörhead, this would be their destiny.

With “Dicks In Tanks,” Morlocks dance precariously on the fringes of our shared dreams, those contradictory realms, and the world’s guilty conscience. They flit about with the slyness of dubious night creatures or charge with the force of a wayward steamroller. Their haunts? The Cold War’s chilly remnants, Rome’s underbelly, and baffling realms that make Kadath seem like a garden party.

“Way too many bands from die Schwarze Szene, metal and industrial alike, are a little too keen on songs about war, doing them *unironically*, and quite often in a somewhat positive light,” says the band. “Some hardcore masculinity there, fellas. We can’t have that, now can we? We just had to crank it up to eleven and put them in their place. Hence, this.”

Using found footage from the military and vintage newsreels, this eight-minute send-up is the ultimate mockery of those celebrating darkness a little too much. Heljarmadr (Grá/Dark Funeral) makes a cameo, as well.
