Exmortus recently announced their signing to Nuclear Blast Records, and now, they’ve announced a new record, Necrophony, out August 25.
The record is available for preorder now and will be the band’s sixth studio album.
Guitarist and vocalist Conan says about the forthcoming record:
“Necrophony was an album title idea for as long as I can remember. This Symphony of the Dead couldn’t be realized for a collection of songs until now. Finally, we have our darkest and most classically inspired work yet, with artwork by the great Toha Mashudi to match perfectly. We returned to Sharkbite Studios to have the mighty wizard that is Zack Ohren aid us again in forging our metal, and (this) resulted in the finest steel we’re all proud to wield on the battlefield.”
To get a taste of what’s in store, you can check out the video for “Mind Of Metal” from the album now:
Conan says about the song:
“‘Mind of Metal’ is a great compliment to our previous single ‘Oathbreaker’ in that it has contrasting rhythms and structure but shares lyrical inspiration by Tolkien. It’s a tribute to the wizard Saruman, and other like characters in the legendarium, for their will to power and domination by crafty and industrial means. This song features groove, fast licks, and some of our favorite riffs ever written. Can’t wait to perform it live!”
