San Jose Death Metallers MORTUOUS, will release their second full-length, “Upon Desolation”, on September 16th via Carbonized in The United States and Extremely Rotten Productions in Europe. The band also released “Graveyard Rain”, the first single of the upcoming album.
The band comments: “ ‘Graveyard Rain’ brings forth a dark and doomy atmosphere that intertwines to take you on a journey to your grave!”
Four years after their debut, “Through Wilderness”, MORTUOUS return with eight new tracks of sheer, twisting brutality. “Upon Desolation” was recorded, mixed, and mastered by Greg Wilkinson at Earhammer Studios in Oakland, California in December 2021. The offering features violin performances on “Nothing” and “Defiled By Fire” by Andrea Morgan (EXULANSIS). The cover artwork was created by Marald Van Haasteren (NECROT, AFTER THE BOMBS, BARONESS).
Coinciding with the release of “Upon Desolation”, MORTUOUS will join FULL OF HELL and BLOOD INCANTATION for a US tour. The tour begins on September 13th in Denver, Colorado and runs through October 7th in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Additional support will be provided by VERMIN WOMB and GOD IS WAR.
