GRUESOME Complete Work On New Album; European Summer Headline Tour Announced
March 6, 2018, 6 years ago
Death metal defenders of the old, Gruesome, have completed their second full-length album and follow-up their 2015 debut full-length, Savage Land. The new album, entitled Twisted Prayers, was recorded with producer Jarrett Pritchard (Exhumed, 1349, Goatwhore) at New Constellation Studios in Orlando, FL.
Twisted Prayers follows Death's paradigm shift during the Spiritual Healing-era, incorporating more cerebral, melodic instrumentation with elements of thrash and thought-provoking, socially conscious lyrics. Twisted Prayers once again features artwork from the legendary Ed Repka (Death, Megadeth, Venom) and is expected to be released in summer 2018 via Relapse Records. Stay tuned for more information in the near future.
Additionally, Gruesome announce headline Summer Europe tour dates starting July 19th at Obscene Extreme 2018, travels through 22 cities and ends August 12th in Kortrijk, Belgium.
