Formed in Amsterdam, Once Mortals is a four-piece groove metal band featuring former members of Seita and Anger Machine.

 

Blending the raw intensity of metal and hardcore with groove-driven riffs, alternative textures and emotionally charged songwriting, the band explores real-world struggles through a deeply emotional lens.

Consisting of Michel Gambini (guitars, vocals), Diego Gomez (bass), Glenn (guitars) and Corné van der Vlugt (drums), Once Mortals crafts songs driven by aggression, atmosphere and melody, while remaining rooted in authenticity and emotional depth.

The name Once Mortals reflects the band's core philosophy of transformation and resilience—the journey of overcoming adversity, enduring hardship and emerging stronger on the other side.
