The album artwork for 'Counting Our Scars', the highly anticipated brand new full-length release from reunited Swedish death metallers Desultory is now revealed.

Track listing:
1. In a Cage
2. Counting Our Scars
3. Ready to Bleed
4. This Broken Halo
5. The Moment Is Gone
6. Uneven Numbers
7. Dead Ends
8. Leeching Life
9. A Crippling Heritage

In addition, the album cover for 'Counting Our Scars' will also feature an exclusive alternate slipcase cover (pictured under), once again showcasing Travis Smith's elaborate and impressive detail to the concept for 'Counting Our Scars'.

In conjunction with the soon-to-be released album, the album-opener entitled 'In a Cage' is now available for preview for the first time on the Pulverised Records official Myspace and Facebook pages.

Comments Desultory singer / guitar-player Klas Morberg: "It's been more than a year now since we entered the studio to record the first Desultory album in over a decade. This album will write a new chapter in the history of the band and it has been with great anticipation and endurance we have waited for the cover art to take form. We wanted the whole package, from music and lyrics to the visual appearance to communicate the same feeling, and as it turned out, this work had to take time. Now, at the very last hours of this long year, we are finally ready to reveal it all to you. We hope you think it was worth the wait, we do."

(old news about the topic:)

Reactivated legendary death metallers Desultory have recently completed work their upcoming album, which will be entitled 'Counting Our Scars'. The album will be released later this year through Pulverised Records.

The band recorded, mixed and mastered the effort with Tore Stjerna at Necromorbus Studio (Watain, Unanimated, Deströyer 666, etc) in Alvik, Sweden.

Work is also currently underway for the new album's cover artwork and layout, and more announcement on this will be made available soon.

Among some of the song titles to be included (in no particular order) on 'Counting Our Scars' are 'In a Cage', 'Counting Our Scars', 'Ready to Bleed', 'This Broken Halo' and 'Uneven Numbers'.

The band commented: "What gets inside always stays inside. This music once shaped us and the marks it left will forever keep itching. Desultory never died, it just went down deep below and beneath the surface it slowly kept growing. Throughout the years, there are many of you out there who never stopped waiting, asking the same question over and over. Now when we finally meet again, 'Counting Our Scars' feels like liberation, the bleeding is over. This album is for all of us who never stopped waiting."
