Mutilation

Recent live footage posted ~ “Filthy black metal” quartet’s Eastern U.S. tour kicks off tonight

For those living along the east coast, the current cold front won’t be the only thing attacking your vitals this month ~ prepare to be blasted with menacing black metal from Brooklyn’s MUTILATION RITES as they join Full of Hell for a co-headlining run starting this weekend! Full dates can be found below.

Mutilation-Rites-empyreanNot only will audiences be presented with music from their critically-acclaimed Prosthetic debut Empyrean, an album included on multiple “Best Of 2012″ lists (Decibel, Pitchfork), but they will also be privy to hearing new material from the band’s as-yet-untitled follow-up, scheduled to be recorded next month. Drummer Justin Ennis announced, “After a full year of working on material for our follow-up to Empyrean, we are prepared to etch it in stone. Once again our friend Kevin Bernstein (TRIAC) will be at the helm. This will be our fourth release documented with him at Developing Nations in Baltimore. After two years with us, these will also be the first recordings to feature Ryan Jones (ex-Today is the Day) on bass and vocals. He is a beast amongst men.”

The new MUTILATION RITES album is scheduled to be released this summer via Prosthetic Records. Stay tuned to the band’s website for updates.

To further your excitement, MUTILATION RITES have released the self-produced video showcasing the band performing two tracks live from the Union Pool in Brooklyn. Check it out here.

In addition to their February tour, the band has also announced a few U.S festival appearances including a set at the prestigious Maryland Death Fest in May with Ulcerate, Immolation, Gorguts and Candlemass, as well as a return to The Gilead Media Music Festival in OshKosh, Wisc. in July. Grab their latest album “Empyrean” for 20% off (until Sunday 2/16 at Midnight) from the Prosthetic webshop and also stock up on merch (patches, t-shirts) and the band’s back catalog from their new webstore.
