History
Mother Of Millions were formed in the winter of 2008, intensely working on its material and in the winter of 2011 released a 4-track demo EP. In the summer of 2012, they entered the studio to begin recording their first full-length album. The recording and production sessions ended a year after and the band released its debut album "Human" by Turkey Vulture Records / Bungalo Records / Universal Music Group Distribution (USA).
Along the way the band has played in many venues around Greece and shared the stage with well established acts, such as Leprous, Septicflesh, Sleepmakeswaves and Paul Di'Anno. Many of their live performances have been featured in websites and magazines that cover the local scene. The sound of Mother Of Millions can be described as an intense experimentation involving elaborate rhythms, folk aesthetics and progressive rock tunes.
The band is currently working on its second full-length album.
Name and Logo
The band's name comes from the plant Bryophyllum delagoense also known as Mother of Millions. Bryophyllum delagoense reproduces by seed and by tiny plantlets that are produced at the tips of its fleshy (succulent) leaves. Dislodged leaves and broken leaf parts can also take root and give rise to new plants. This species is commonly spread in garden waste. The tiny seeds are probably wind and water dispersed and its leaves and plantlets may also be dislodged and spread by animals, vehicles, machinery, soil and slashers.
In an interview with the band, it was stated that the plant's toxicity, and it's uncontrolled reproduction are the two points that stand out, and transform from nature to society.
"...regarding the semantic comparison of the physical properties of the plant, with social counties and the relationship with the world of ideas. The points that stand out, are that of toxicity and the uncontrolled reproduction."
The band's logo indicates toxicity and hazard, being an X sign. The logo gives the impression of an heraldic banner demonstrating the band's initials.
