Mortiis - Releasing New Album In January
Mortiis is set to unleash new music unto the world in form of a studio release, entitled Spirit Of Rebellion - a re-interpreted expansion and continuation of the 1994 Era I classic Ånden Som Gjorde Opprør. The outing is scheduled for official release on 24th January, 2020 via Omnipresence Production / Dead Seed Productions. All music was recorded and mixed by Mortiis in various locations in Norway and Sweden.
The band leader Mortiis commented: "I had to fend off a lot of demons to get to this point. They'll be back, they always come back, but at least my vision is no longer clouded...When I was working on re-interpreting my old music for the Cold Meat Industry festival in Stockholm almost two years ago, I had no idea that I´d eventually create an (almost) new record, nor that a section of it would be used for my first Dungeon Synth video since 1996. But here we are."
Mortiis is scheduled to perform a number of Era I shows throughout Europe this autumn/winter. In early 2020 the king of dungeon synth will be returning to North America for an Era I headline run, supported by avant-garde black metal hybrid T.O.M.B. The 14-date strong US tour kicks off on 24th January @ The Whiskey Junction in Minneapolis and finishes on 08th February @ San Francisco's legendary DNA Lounge.
Mortiis on tour: "I'm very much looking forward to returning and touring North America again. This being a sort of "part 2" of the US tour I did earlier this year, of course with different cities, but hopefully it will turn out to be as cool as the last one I did.
"On the last US run we jumped a fence in a park and sawed down a bunch of cool looking trees, threw them into a van before anyone knew what happened, then rushed them back to the venue for "post-processing", a couple of hours before the show. I guess this will also be part 2 of "how are we going to get hold of those creepy trees?" that we have on stage as part of the show. So yeah, another adventure awaits. That's for sure!"
