Why this name?
One drunken night while recording the first CD, Gramie and Brett were trying to think up a name that symbolised the music.
Gramie said "um... Morgue... something" and Brett said "Orgazm", then they both said together "MORGUEAZM!!!!!"

Do you play live?
Morgueazm is strictly a studio band at present as the distance between band members is not practical for gigging together. But this does not mean that things will not change in the future.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
The internet opens many doors for musicians world wide. It enables unsigned bands to reach countless ears with their music.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
We have signed to Death Rape Inc, an independent label, and as far as this band is concerned that's what this genre of music is all about.
Band History:
Morgueazm were formed mid 2001 by ex-Blood Money members Gramie Dee and Brett Avok. Blood Money were a fairly successful underground thrash metal band between 1985 and 1987 releasing two albums on the Ebony Records label, 'Red Raw and Bleeding' (1986) and 'Battlescarred' (1987) and gained a respectable fan base by touring and gigging at their own expense. When Gramie created an official web site for Blood Money http://www.angelfire.com/rock2/bloodmoney in early 2001 he and Brett were amazed at the response from old fans everywhere who remembered them, and received numerous e-mails from as far as Spain enquiring if another album would be released. Because Blood Money were long gone, it was decided to form a new band out of the ashes of Blood Money, and Morgueazm were born. A band that draws on it's influences of thrash metal, but also injecting elements of death and techno to give a fresh and different sound to their brand of metal.
Your influences?
Morgueazm's main style of music is loud, heavy, raucious metal. Though they do like to inject different styles. That's why you will hear influences of death, thrash and even techno creeping in there.
Favorite spot?
Either in the pub, in McDonalds, or on the stage during a gig at a teenage girl's remand institute.
Equipment used:
Um... musical instruments.
Anything else...?
Morgueazm currently has two full length albums; "Fun With Formaldehyde" and "Multiple Morgueazms" with a third on the way. Check out the website at www.morgueazm.co.uk for details.
