Since their birth in 2020, Retromorcego is spreading death and destruction with their unique theatrical live show, their unmistakable visual appearance and their binational two-man format.

 

Their music can be located somewhere between grunge, heavy doom rock, classic heavy metal and Brazilian psychedelic rock from the 1970s. In addition, some songs are peppered with elements from traditional Brazilian music, for example through the use of “Berimbau”, known for the combat dance Capoeira.

In order to represent as many musical genres and influences as possible, the band has agreed on the style name “Tropical Dead Grunge”.

 

In their mostly humorous and sometimes serious lyrics and their visual appearance, the band subversively addresses serious topics such as existentialism, anti-fascism, religion and other political and social subjects, but also fun topics such as Satanism, masturbation, nicotine and alcohol. With songs like “Satano-Comunistas do Além” (“Satano-Communists from Beyond”) or “Príncipe das Trevas” (“Prince of Darkness”), Retromorcego deliberately provokes the Extreme right, strengthened by Jair Bolsonaro's politics, which manifests itself through a very Christian-moralistic, racist, misogynistic, homophobic and transphobic worldview. In general, Retromorcego's lyrics mostly refer to politics and events around the world, especially in Brazil.

 

In addition to numerous concerts in Switzerland, the band completed a four-week southern Brazil tour with seven concerts in autumn 2022, a six-week (entire) Brazil tour with 13 concerts in summer 2023 and a five-week Brazil tour with 14 concerts in summer 2024 – many of them with their two-woman sister band “Dirty Grills.” These tours were organized and implemented in collaboration with the label “Maxilar Music” and the southern Brazilian booking agency “Bruxa Verde”.

​

Retromorcego recently released their 3rd studio album "Nada Além do Pó" which will be available on vinyl in spring of 2025.
