Mortiis Madness Beckons

LODNON, UK (Earache Records) - Now recovered from their exhausting nine week European tour, which came to an end in November, Mortiis begin 2005 by once again throwing themselves into another busy schedule. A schedule that will see the release of a new single, a live DVD, the filming of a new video and live shows all in the first half of the year. A hectic time that will also have the man himself trying to fit in a marriage and honeymoon in between. Yes!! you heard it right, the reclusive one is to take a bride.

Mortiis have returned to Silvertone Studios in Fredrikstad, Norway to work on a new single -'Decadent & Desperate' - which is scheduled for a UK release in April. The single is expected to be released in various formats and will include a new, as yet un-named song, plus further re-mixed tracks from their latest album. The release follows last years debut single 'The Grudge' which saw the band make their first ever entry in the 'Official UK Singles Chart'.

A video for 'Decadent & Desperate' will be released prior to the single. Work is due to commence shortly in the UK and the band are rumoured to be working with film and video director Adam Mason (Million Dead, The Dawn Parade). Commenting on the upcoming video Mortiis said "I'm looking forward to making this new video. It's something which I expect to be dark and disturbing, something to go with the feel of the single."

Also in the pipeline is the release of the eagerly anticipated as yet untitled live DVD, which was recorded at the London show on last years 'Unlimited Grudge' European tour. Set for release in May, the DVD will also feature music and videos from the Smell Of Rain and Grudge era's, plus a host of exclusive never seen before extras.

Mortiis make the first live appearance of the year at Norway's largest industry event, by: Larm, which this year takes place in Stavanger, Norway between 10th and 12th of February. Mortiis will perform a live set at The SAS Atlantic Hotel, Hall A on Friday 11th February, where they will appear on a bill that includes Gothminister, Apoptygma Berzerk and Theatre Of Tragedy.
