Carrie's interview with Morningstvr


Band Name: Morningstvr


Where are you from? Northern California


When was the band founded ? On February 22nd, 2019


What first got you into music? I’d say that’s a hard question to answer because it was so long ago but I guess it was one of the first things that brought me joy.


Who inspired you to make music? I’d have to say just seeing how much fun bands would have when I’d see them online. But I switched from a whole band to a solo artist and thats been a lot more fun for me.


How would you describe the music that you typically create/ genre? I coined the term “Blackened Witch House”. It’s witch house with more black metal elements and I include a lot of dungeon synth within my music too. It bridges both black metal and witch house as genres.


Do you have any upcoming releases? I just dropped an album on February 22nd and as of right now I’m focusing on collaborating with other musicians while I work on newer material.


If you could open a show for any artist who would it be? There’s a lot but some don’t have live shows anymore but Motionless In White, Sidewalks and Skeletons, Axius Link, Mayhem, Cradle of Filth, Hekseblad are some of the artists I’d open up for.


What is one message you would give to your fans? Thank you to those who have supported my music, whether from the very beginning or recently starting, your love and suppport keeps me going.


Where have you performed? What are your favorite and least favorite venues? Do you have any upcoming shows? I’ve performed in a handful of venues and would be a lot to list just here but I’ve played at the Whiskey-A-Gogo, Los Globos, Drachaus. As for a favorite, I don’t really have a favorite venue anymore. I won’t go into least favorite because I don’t want to focus on the negative moments. As for upcoming shows, I have a few that are in the works and are going to be incredible. I’m very excited to announce them.


What is your favorite song to perform? I have a few but I’d have to say “Silver Lake” off my new record. Just something about it gets me in a groove on stage and I guess you can say it wakes me up.


What’s next for you? Wherever the devil will take me.


Who is in the band? Members and short bio? It’s only me, Sam Tchortov. I’m an American of Russo-Irish descent living in Los Angeles, my stage name is Morningstvr, the musician who pioneered blackened witch house.
