Southern Californian melodic death masters EXMORTUS have released their long-awaited album, Necrophony, today with Nuclear Blast Records.
Produced by Zack Ohren (FALLUJAH, IMMOLATION), the band’s 6th studio album expands on their previous works, melding neo-classical with contemporary death metal wizardry, resulting in their darkest and most classically inspired record to date.
Featuring tracks like ‘Beyond The Grave,’ ‘Oathbreaker,’ ‘Mind of Metal’ and ‘Storm of Strings,’ Necrophony is a relentless masterclass of guitar virtuoso and extreme heavy metal.
Commenting on the album, guitarist/vocalist Conan says:
"We're excited for our fans and new listeners to experience a new aspect of our sound with Necrophony. It was a breath of fresh air for us to try new things. Emphasizing a change in atmosphere and tone, we poured our darkest emotions and thoughts into Necrophony. Fans and fresh ears are in for a treat."
