On the small northwest island of Bainbridge, where I grew up and still live while home from school, the Blood Barn is a DIY venue that frequently features local and touring bands. Hell, Life at These Speeds even played there. Anyway, during winter break last year, these guys stopped in. I thought the name was goofy and had no idea what to expect, but they absolutely crushed.
Mohoram Atta are a three-guitar crust outfit from Santa Cruz, California, and they cite their influences as "Cursed, Tragedy and fuckin' black metal." All three influences show pretty damned well-- the raw, raging power of the former two with the occasional tremelo pickings and quasi-blast parts of the latter. The recordings sound incredibly dark, but retain a fantastic clarity. If you dig crust, you'll dig this. Period.

Very, very bold claim, haha. Downloading now.

Okay, I meant more towards the Tragedy side of crust than Amebix or Axegrinder....
Some of these guys went on to form Fell Voices from Santa Cruz. They are great as well.
