Mortiis album in aantocht

Forget what you think you know about Mortiis. Dismiss any image that immediately comes to mind when you think of both the band and its multitalented leader. Let go of any impression you may have. Start over with a clean slate. That is exactly what Mortiis has done.

Mortiis’s The Great Deceiver is not the result of a rebirth, an evolution, or a metamorphosis. This great new album does not mark a new chapter in the band’s growing musical legacy. It is much more. The Great Deceiver is Mortiis’s greatest and most comprehensive effort to date.

A refreshing blend of techno, industrial, metal, punk and progressive rock, this disc mesmerizes listeners from the first sounds of the opener, “Feed The Greed”, to the fading notes of its closer, “Too Little, Too Late”. More than the sum of its dozen tracks, it is a lush, layered opus that continues to deliver fresh new sounds after multiple listens.

Although Mortiis no longer wears the latex mask that was the visual face of the band during its early live performances, the band’s members realized it was still wearing figurative masks. The struggle to tear these masks away fueled The Great Deceiver’s creation process.
