Following last month's Western Migration live takeover, Windy City-based blackened death grind unit, Immortal Bird, confirms the official details of their Empress/Abscess LP.
Set for release on July 14th, the follow-up to 2013's Akrasia EP was captured by Pete Grossmann (Weekend Nachos, Harm's Way, Dead In The Dirt) at Bricktop Recording in Chicago, Illinois earlier this year and mixed and mastered by Colin Marston (Gorguts, Atheist, Origin) at Menegroth, The Thousand Caves in Queens, New York. Empress/Abscess includes a guest appearance by John Hoffman of Weekend Nachos and finds former drummer/vocalist, Amitay, swapping in her drum stool for a full-time position at the mic with longtime live drummer, Garry Naples (Novembers Doom) taking her place at the kit.

The album will be released as a collaborative effort, with Broken Limbs Recordings taking charge with vinyl and cassettes, while Immortal Bird will be self-releasing the CD and Digital Versions under the moniker Manatee Rampage Recordings.
