Tracktour Morocco’s March dates brought We Exist Even Dead from Barcelona to Rabat and Casablanca, with Old School and Into the Evernight on both bills. Both nights sold out. The next Tracktour weekend now returns to the same two cities on 24 and 25 April, this time with Cardiac, We Come For War and Hold The Breath.
The interview was done around We Exist Even Dead’s Morocco run, but it still fits the wider idea behind Tracktour as the series moves into its next Rabat and Casablanca dates. Here, We Exist Even Dead talk about first impressions, the live side of the band, and the appeal of a project built around links between scenes.
“There is a bigger idea behind it: connecting scenes, building bridges between countries, and creating space for bands that might not usually get these opportunities. That is what made us say yes without overthinking it.”
These were your first dates in Morocco. Before you came over, what were you hoping to find in the room and around the shows?
Honestly, we were coming in with a lot of excitement and curiosity. We’d never been to Morocco before, so we did not fully know what to expect, and that made it even more special for us. We’d heard the scene there was passionate and intense, so we were hoping for sweat, energy and a real connection with the crowd. We were also looking forward to sharing the stage with local bands, discovering the scene and building the kind of exchange that goes beyond simply playing a show. That was a big part of it for us.
You’re coming into this run from Barcelona with a sound that draws from groove metal, metalcore, and hardcore. On this bill, what side of We Exist Even Dead do you think comes through most strongly live?
Live, our rawest and most visceral side definitely comes through. We have groove elements, heavier parts, and hardcore influences, but on stage it all comes together in a more direct and aggressive way. If we had to choose, the metalcore and hardcore side probably comes through most strongly live: breakdowns, high energy, no breathing space. We want people to feel it, not just hear it.
What stood out to you about the way Tracktour works, and what made you want to be part of it?
What stood out to us was that it is not just about putting shows together. There is a bigger idea behind it: connecting scenes, building bridges between countries, and creating space for bands that might not usually get these opportunities. That is what made us say yes without overthinking it. It feels like a very honest and necessary way to support the underground scene.
