“MORIS BLAK is stepping up with ‘FERAL’. Plunging listeners into the rave, MORIS BLAK re-imagines the ferociousness of metal and cyberpunk through a techno pulse.” - Clash Magazine
“MORIS BLAK is a name that should be on the minds of anyone who loves hard-hitting beats. Listening to his aggressive music is like dancing the night away at a warehouse party when you’re connecting to it on a deeper level…dark undertones and basslines in these times are sure to send chills up the spines of whomever ears they happen to touch” - EDM Identity
"fierce and limb flinging excitement Adrenochrome shot into your mind and designed to make you let go of all control. He also does some intense remixes and mind bending live shows. This is not a throwback sound. It is straight alien brain melt." - Sounds & Shadows
“A true industrial music bomber, perfectly matching the harsh industrial elements with a lot of bass 'n' beats…Moris Blak is definitely pioneering in bass industrial music” - ElektroSpank
“Moris Blak merges the cold aesthetics of industrial music with the beat driven surgical precision of modern electronic dance music to form an intrepid new sound for an evolving dark dance scene. His pioneering “industrial bass music” pushes the limits.” - Spill Magazine
”a sweeping impression in the niche industrial bass scene. Championed by Gesaffelstein and evolved with Rezz, Blak is the next one trying his hand at the ever-popular sound.” - This Song Slaps
ABOUT
Boston, Massachusetts
A pioneer of the North American industrial bass genre, MORIS BLAK is the name “on the minds of anyone who loves hard-hitting beats.” A cloaked and masked enigmatic presence, MORIS BLAK is the audio & visual project led by Boston-based producer, Brian “Blaknoise.”
Making his debut in 2019, MORIS BLAK is an ever-evolving project merging the aesthetics of techno, industrial, metal & cyberpunk into a new form of surgically precise, beat-driven electronic dance music. Intense remixes, mind-bending live shows, dark undertones and bass lines that send chills down spines, BLAK’s music is “designed to make you let go of all control.”
Unrelentingly releasing bangers one after the next, the year 2022 welcomed MORIS BLAK’s first North American tour, a SXSW blowout, and numerous festival performances throughout North America.
