Besomora were founded by Russian born Vladislav Martynov and Croatian born Daniel Zolotic in February 2021 as a Covid-19 project, the band is a Sydney-based four-piece playing Melodic Death Metal.

The name Besomora is derived from Slavic mythology and draws inspiration from dark spirits and demons which Besomora say is a direct representation of the imagery they wish to portray and a reflection of their music. The band’s deep ties to their Eastern European background and their interpretation of melodic death metal are a refreshing and hard-hitting medley of all that is traditionally right in the melodic death genre. Vlad and Dan have a very clear direction and an extremely high standard for what they want to produce with the band.

Besomora have been working hard on their social media campaign, promoting themselves with regular updates on their progression and development as they worked towards the release of their second single, a cover of Kiss’ smash hit “I Was Made for Lovin’ You”. To accompany these updates are a promotional shoot and teaser clips of the band recording the single’s music video, showing off their polished and professional approach to their art. The second release couldn’t come quickly enough after the metal community’s response to their first single “Disgraced”, which within 2 weeks of the 23 July release picked up traction with two reviews, 120 Listeners on Spotify, 11K views of the song on Youtube and airplay on multiple radio stations including UK Hard Rock Hell Radio’s show, Dark Compass.

Besomora have only recently taken to doing live shows but don’t let that make you think they are only a studio act – it was due to the Covid-19 Global pandemic affecting the band’s ability to promote themselves in the traditional route of live shows and establishing a fan base by opening for other acts. All four members are exceptionally talented performers and have held nothing back in their debut run of shows in the last few weeks.
