Hailing large and loud from Amsterdam are progressive groove and hardcore-fusion metal outfit Bigmoth, whose single ‘Meggah Konstrukt‘ is available on all major streaming platforms and gives their forthcoming debut album its title.
Speaking about the song, the band said: “This song is inspired by one of my favourite characters since childhood, Yautja (aka Predator). At the time I wanted to explore writing a more fictional lyric and have recently wrapped another marathon and a little read on Predator, so this was a fun little experiment.”
Having spent the past year immersed in the writing and recording process, Bigmoth temporarily stepped off the grid in September 2024 to focus on shaping their debut full-length. Operating as a trio during this period, they combined pre-production with an extensive search for a permanent drummer. When that search proved more challenging than anticipated, they enlisted the talents of acclaimed progressive drummer Mike Malyan (Monuments), who laid down the majority of the album’s drum tracks, bringing precision and power to the band’s already formidable sound.
‘Meggah Konstrukt‘ is said to stand as a bold and uncompromising preview of what lies ahead. Relentless from the outset, the single delivers a carefully controlled chaos, balancing technicality with groove, and aggression with atmosphere.
Now, with a full line-up in place, featuring Zemfira Baghirova on vocals, Yannik Sieburg on guitar, Misha Voeykov on bass and Jynn de Jongh on drums, Bigmoth are preparing to take their material to the stage, armed with months of new music and a renewed sense of purpose.
