Almamor's name is derived from two Portuguese words;

Alma, meaning 'soul' and Mor (short for maior), meaning 'bigger'.

In this case Almamor (Ahl-Mah-Mor) basically translates to 'Higher Soul'.

 

Almamor began as a group of like-minded musicians who crossed paths on the London music circuit.

Shortly after forming, the band began working on and recording their first album, "Shelter".

 

Originally from the UK, Portugal and Greece, these 3 accomplished musicians were brought together by their love of music, which was reflected in the band's strong chemistry.

 

Unfortunately, following the release of their debut album, Almamor's founding drummer, Nash, had to return to his native Greece.

 

Almamor continued gigging, writing new music and survived COVID with several lineup changes, until eventually finding a new drummer late 2023.

 

Now the band are looking forward to continue playing live, write and record new material, and perform to everyone willing to embrace the experimental sound of Almamor!
