Mordo Mia apresenta “Traz-os-Monstros”: surrealismo cru e febril no segundo álbum.

A banda portuense/lisboeta Mordo Mia regressa com "Chumbo Côncavo", o seu segundo longa-duração, editado a 23 de outubro de 2025, pela Saliva Diva. E é com o single “Traz-os-Monstros”, uma faixa de 6 minutos de puro caos controlado, que o quinteto mais uma vez desafia as fronteiras entre rock experimental, psicadelismo, punk e poesia absurda.

Composta por João Roque (voz, letras, piano e teclados) e Ana Eduarda Martins (violino e coros), a faixa é um retrato hilariante e inquietante da paternidade, da burocracia e do absurdo português, pontuado por imagens surreais como “a moda de chupar a crista do grilo de Barcelos” ou os “dez burros sem memória” que devoram pães coloridos da avó.

A formação ao vivo e em estúdio conta com Bernardo Pereira na bateria, António Pinto no baixo, Simão Bárcia nas guitarras e percussões, e Ana Eduarda no violino. A produção é assinada pelos próprios Mordo Mia, com captação de Joaquim Monte e Miguel Peixoto nos Estúdios Namouche (Lisboa), em takes diretos gravados a 39ºC de febre, detalhe que explica a urgência visceral da faixa. A mistura ficou a cargo de Pedro Ferreira e a masterização de Miguel Pinheiro Marques.

“Traz-os-Monstros” é o momento mais desconcertante e viciante de "Chumbo Côncavo": um hino anti-convencional que mistura spoken word infantil, rock cru e um humor negro tipicamente underground português. A Saliva Diva, selo do Porto focado na cena alternativa nacional, volta a apostar forte numa das propostas mais originais e imprevisíveis do momento.

Se o rock português precisa de monstros para acordar, Mordo Mia acabou de trazê-los. E vêm com violino, baixo distorcido e muitas perguntas sem resposta.

Video for GOAD from the EP "Song Of Four Fairies"

The release of "Song of Four Fairies", GOAD's new digital EP, is just around the corner. Today, we present the official video for "Song of Four Fairies - pt. 1" which you can watch at https://youtu.be/jomljRmG0ME

"Song Of Four Fairies" will be released just 7 months after the album "Dusketha" and it is inspired by the poem written by John Keats, one of the greatest exponents of English Romanticism. It is a long suite divided into three acts and represents a further step in the band's artistic journey, which has always oriented itself toward the fusion of literature, symbolic imagery, and Progressive sounds, musically recalling Genesis, the theatricality of Van der Graaf Generator, the dark atmospheres of King Crimson, and the poetic sensibility of PFM.

It is more than just a poem set to music: the music amplifies the lyrics' theatricality, enhancing their sensuality and pagan dimension, transporting the listener into a world suspended between myth, nature, and romantic vision. It is a spell, a small cosmic drama that GOAD brings to life, vibrant, and contemporary, enhancing its evocative power and dramatic dimension.

The EP will be released digitally on Club Inferno / My Kingdom Music on June 5th and it is available on Bandcamp [ https://t.ly/CT1QA ] and in pre-save at https://onerpm.link/236091531150

Some songs don’t ask to escape. They ask to feel.

There’s something ritualistic about repetition. A voice insisting on sensation. On sound. On being fully awake inside a landscape that could swallow you whole.

Не тримай мене В рисових полях. Дай відчути все, Дай почути, як!

Church Burglars presents: Welcome to Dreamland The Los Angeles band turns a fractured vision of American myth into a tightly framed concept album.

Church Burglars introduce Welcome to Dreamland as a narrative record built around collapse, spectacle, and the thin line between belief and performance. From the artwork, to the set-list and lyrics, everything is well-placed and meaningful, combining alt-rock sensibilities with an outlook on the current socio-political landscape.

The Los Angeles based alternative rock band frames the album as a concept piece, moving from a bright, disorienting opening into a darker sequence of scenes that question how ideals of fame, faith, and love erode over time. The songs function like short chapters in a loose story, with recurring figures and motifs that point to illusion, self deception, and public masks.
