Cartographer is a djent pop band from Los Angeles. Nick Morzov (guitar,
production, mix) started the project in 2014 with former singer Brandon
Covington. As their early success subsided, Nick shifted focus to audio
engineering and production, working with legends like Animals As Leaders,
eventually becoming Travis BarkerÆs head engineer.
In 2018, drummer Stephen Haaker (Groove Juggernaut) joined the band,
rekindling their passion. His unique open drumming style and thunderous kick
groupings are featured on ôVertigoö, the finale of their EP Metamorphosis.
Dylan Tirapelli-Jamail (multi-instrumentalist, Loveless) was the obvious
choice for bass. He and Stephen have been best friends and roommates for
nearly a decade. Their common influences shine through effortless phrasing
and masterful pocket, as heard on the verse of ôFever Dream'' which is
inspired by the djenty riffs of Meshuggah and Periphery. Dylan joined in
2019, just as Loveless began taking offà
The rapid popularity of that project combined with the Covid-19 pandemic
stifled Cartographer's apparent momentum. Brandon realized he could no longer
commit, graciously leaving the project in 2021. Nick, now the only original
member recalls, ôà It was a huge shift. It made us feel like a real bandö.
Dylan began co-writing more as they recorded nearly 20 demos, simultaneously
scouring Los Angeles for a new front person.
Enter Skies Marie, a queer, former Suicide Girl model adorned in loose PJs.
Her voice was so unique and powerful, it re-shaped the bandÆs sound, forcing
them to take a hard look. Her background in psychiatric care combined with
recently diagnosed ADHD sparked long conversations culminating in their
second co-write, Sanctuary. This song unknowingly inspired the concept behind
the whole EP, as the thematic character slips further away from this world,
into darkness and chaos. A dingy whiteboard served as canvas for lyrical
concepts evolving from intense, sometimes ridiculous discussions. Through
this process, they realized common values and shared trauma, further
strengthening their bond and collective voice. Queer identity,
neurodivergence, passion for human rights, and off-putting jokes ù the vision
became clear and everyone was finally serving the same song.
The band is currently promoting three new singles "One More Night", "Fed Up",
and "Rewind", releasing videos for each. They've also been preparing their
live set, rehearsing and booking select shows this summer. CartographerÆs
unique sound and emo aesthetic is re-shaping the genre, ushering a new era of
heavy music. Modern metal is for everyone.
