From Earache Records:
MORTIIS long awaited album title confirmed
Earache Records are extremely pleased to announce details of the brand new album from Norway’s legendary eccentric artist Mortiis.
The title of the follow up to 2001’s critically acclaimed ‘The Smell Of Rain’ has been confirmed as ‘The Grudge’ and is scheduled for release in September 2004.
The album has been recorded over the last six months at Silvertone Studios in Fredrickstad, Norway by Mortiis (Vocals, Synths, Programming, Sound Design), Levi Gawron, (Guitar), Asmund Sveinunggard (Guitar) and Leo Troy (Drums) and has been co-produced by Vegard Blomberg and is due to be mastered at Norway’s premier facility “The Living Room” in Oslo.
Mortiis, himself is saying very little about ‘The Grudge’ at the moment, other than “It may have taken a while, but we all feel that it was right to spend the last couple of years on the album. We´re now working to meet deadlines and I think people will be mighty surprised again” …. as secretive as ever! What we can say is ‘The Grudge’ will contain ten new tracks, including "Decadent And Desperate" and "Broken Skin" with all the songs drawing from an eclectic mix of inspirations, emotions and experiences, Once ‘The Grudge’ is completed Mortiis will be spending the summer months rehearsing for their mammoth upcoming autumn European tour.
