Moorah, the ritualistic Black Metal outfit hailing from Prague, have finally unveiled the harrowing details of their upcoming full-length, "The Beast Called Ego", set to be unleashed globally via Art Gates Records on November 6th, 2026.
The visual gateway to this record was conjured by the visionary artist Aaron Bonogofsky. Regarding the symbolism of the artwork, the band states:
"The motif, together with the album title The Beast Called Ego, represents a whispering entity that at first appears as a supportive friend. Yet the moment you surrender to its temptations, it watches your downfall with a grin and quiet satisfaction. Almost everyone has, at some point, succumbed to its false call through the influence of our own egos."
"The Beast Called Ego" marks a definitive step forward in the band’s trajectory. Describing the new material, Moorah explains that these songs go to greater extremes in expression than the previous ones; they are more massive and more organic, yet some of them sound naturally more "hit".
To ensure a sonically crushing experience, the album was mastered by the legendary Jaime Gomez Arellano (Paradise Lost, Mayhem, Ghost, Behemoth, Moonspell, Opeth...) at Orgone Studios. Adding to the record's grim authenticity, two original members of the cult "second wave of black metal" band Master's Hammer play on the album, providing a late 80's old-school atmosphere. Furthermore, Ashok (of Cradle Of Filth) joins the ritual as a special guest.
Tracklist:
1. Left Hand Of Darkness
2. Breitspurbahn Egotrip
3. Eternal Ahasver
4. Baptism Of Scum
5. Vasa Ship
6. Demon za krkem
Recorded across the shadows of Prague (from the band’s private sanctuary to Riversound and Seabeast Production studios), this album is a testament to the darkness that dwells within.

BIOGRAPHY/LOGO
Moorah is a ritualistic Black Metal entity hailing from Prague, Czech Republic. Originally established in 2019 as a one-man project by Count Hroozah, the band soon evolved into a full lineup to record their debut full-length album, "Marnost nad Marnost".
Their music offers a unique vision of apocalyptic Black Metal, blending the traditional elements of classic Czech and Norwegian acts with modern post-metal, post-punk, and blackgaze techniques. This fusion creates a sound that resonates with fans of diverse influences, ranging from Darkthrone and Master's Hammer to Burzum and Deafheaven. A distinctive part of their identity lies in the lyrical depth provided by Count Hroozah, whose poetry—previously published in literary magazines—explores themes of faith and individual destiny within an apocalyptic world.
In recent years, Moorah has solidified its presence in the European scene through extensive touring and performances at specialized festivals such as Enter The Eternal Fire and Eternal Hate Fest, as well as serving as direct support for the legendary Marduk.
Currently, the band is entering a new era with their upcoming material, moving towards a more massive and organic sound. This evolution is supported by high-tier production from Jaime Gomez Arellano (Mayhem, Behemoth) and features collaborations with iconic figures from the "second wave" of Black Metal, further cementing Moorah’s place as a vital force in the contemporary extreme underground.
