Biography
Agruss was founded at the end of 2009 in Rivne (Ukraine) when musicians from various bands gathered in one collective and named it Agruss. The range of styles they all played before was very wide - from black metal, death to crust and post-metal. So, as a unity rod band chose not the music, canons of which are ignored by Agruss, but the idea and emotions.
All members of the band have grown on the lands that symbolically reflect the reality of our days - ancient forests, swamps and rivers are surrounded by three nuclear power plants, one of which exploded in 1986, leaving a rotting scar on the face of all planet. Devastated villages, chased animals, mutilated temple of nature, which dozed peacefully for thousands of years, wandering shadows against the starry sky - there is no place to escape from this, except inside. Nature is inside us, we are inside of the nature.
The debut album Morok is a scream - as an evidence of frustration, as a result of this hopeless escape.
