Mutilation Rites: new album 'Harbinger' out this summer

New York City' self-proclaimed "filthy black metal" band Mutilation Rites will release their second full length album this summer, via Prosthetic Records. Titled 'Harbinger', it was recorded with Kevin Bernsten (TRIAC, Magrudergrind) at Developing Nations in Baltimore, USA. The album will be the band's first full-length to feature Ryan Jones (ex-Today Is The Day) on bass and vocals. A summer release is expected.

The band stunned critics and fans alike with their acclaimed 2012 Prosthetic debut 'Empyrean' — described as "a harrowing descent into the bleakest that black metal has to offer" (About.com)

In conjunction with their appearance at this year's Maryland Deathfest, the quartet will embark on a brief east coast/midwest tour supporting Black Breath in late May. Dates can be found below. A more extensive tour announcement will follow in the coming weeks.
