Drekavac
(Cyrillic: дрекавац, Serbo-Croatian pronunciation: [drɛkaʋats],
literally "the
screamer" or "the
yeller") Nahja Mora often is symbolized by the image to the left -- their artistic interpretation of the drekavac. Nahja Mora, at conception, explored cultural fear between the east and west as an artistic component. The alienation created by tensions between the USSR and the USA left a mark, it seems, on the views of each respective culture... as well as the nations within their sphere of influence. that mark is fear. Nahja Mora still utilizes images from legend of societies, peoples, and cultures that are at odds with one another. Besides the monster to the left from central Europe, Nahja Mora also utilizes images of Rusulka from Eastern Europe. |
Nahja Mora is typically described by others and themselves as operating within the Industrial Music tradition. To Nahja Mora, "Industrial is in-house design, recording, mixing, product development. It is experimentalism. it is a reflection on societal decay as a result of industrialization and capitalism. it is confrontational. it focuses on dark violent perverse things ignored by religion. It explains why they happen. It is sound of the world coming unglued. It is a conflagration of norms and mores. an examination of the disturbed and disturbing. It is questioning and exposing desensitization."
