User:Reza Reyzzz/Vein of Mogot

Vein of Mogot, a deathcore band from Tangerang, was formed by two founders, Reza Rey (guitarist) and Yudra Arkan (vocals) in mid-2022. The name “Mogot” itself is taken from the name of a street in Tangerang City, Daan Mogot, which is taken from the name of a revolutionary fighter who died in Tangerang named Elias Daniel Mogot.

2022 - Early Formation and Single "Romusha"
The start of this band began with the guitarist's restlessness who felt that his musical journey was monotonous and tended to go nowhere, and the failure in his previous band made him have to create a new project even though he only walked alone. from the previous basic genre of metalcore, Reza Rey (guitarist and songwriter) tried to develop his music into deathcore with more “heavy” music but inserted melodic guitar leads.

The Vein of Mogot project itself has actually started since the beginning of 2022, but only began to be seriously worked on in the middle of the year after the inclusion of Yudra Arkan as a vocalist who was also a fellow personnel in the previous band. From here, the first single “Romusha” was born on November 30, 2022 which will later become the title of Vein of Mogot's first album.

2023 - Single "Ignite", "In Flames" and creation of album "Romusha"
Departing from the band's name which carries the name of a warrior and also the single “Romusha” which also tells the story of forced labor during the colonial era, in the next material Vein of Mogot raised themes about history, slavery, war, and social criticism. The second single “Ignite” was released in February 2023 followed by the single “In Flames” in April 2023. Not satisfied with just a single, Vein of Mogot continued to work on an album entitled “Romusha” which contained 3 previous singles and also 5 new songs which were finally completed in October 2023 and released in December 2023. Their material is heavily inspired by deathcore bands such as Shadow of Intent, Fit for an Autopsy, Thy Art is Murder. Their compositions range from fast and complex riffs to groovy riffs, blast beats on drums and a mix of growl and scream techniques on vocals.

In the beginning, Vein of Mogot only wanted to work and at least exist in the digital. But the desire to exist in the “real world” was strengthened, and here was the next challenge where we had to find other personnel to complete the formation to be intact as a band. While working on the album we also tried to find other personnel until finally Rabiansyah Wijaya as Drummer joined, followed by Pradana “Piggy” Gilang as Bassist.

2024 - Present
Since the end of December 2023 Vein of Mogot made its debut by participating in various local music events and gigs, until in February 2024 Vein of Mogot held an album launching event “Romusha” at the Total Blasting 5 event in Jakarta which was also filled by various metal bands from various regions. during this period there was also a change of personnel in the previous drummer who was now replaced by Jeje in March 2024.
