The mastermind of melodic death metal
internationally known as Sonus Mortis has released his latest LP
record album, “War Prophecy.” The LP has been independently
published without the managerial or financial support of the
corporate music industry. Boasting 15 all-new, original tracks to
slake the thirst of fans new and old, the collection offers
approximately one full hour of the grittiest heavy metal the world
has to offer. Brutal, richly imaginative and extremely
well-orchestrated, “War Prophecy” from Sonus Mortis is an album
no true death metal fan should go without.
Sonus Mortis cites as main artistic
influences such titans of the scene as Dimmu Borgir, Fields of the
Nephilim, Anathema, and Septic Flesh. A blend of these sounds forms
the backbone of Sonus Mortis' own style, overall. However, Sonus
Mortis is more kaleidoscopic and narrative in terms of composition
and anthemic soundscapes, to say nothing of the equally evocative
lyrics on “War Prophecy.”
Speaking of the general theme and motif
of the “War Prophecy” LP, Sonus Mortis writes, “The album takes
influence from the many conflicts both past and present to tell a
three-part story of how a war comes to pass, both the war itself and
the aftermath. The 'Death Prophet' in the story symbolizes war itself
and is mentioned throughout. There are songs dealing with the
morality, the humanity, the horrors and the insanity that war
brings.”
Even without taking his freshman LP
release, the equally intense “Propaganda Dream Sequence,” into
consideration, Sonus Mortis is no newcomer to death metal. Hailing
from Dublin, Ireland, he is an alumnus of the popular Irish melodic
death metal band, Valediction, which was powerfully active from
2005-2011. The crew performed with bands such as Firewind, Amon
Amarth, Thurisaz, Vreid, Desaster, Blaze Bayley, Wizard, Mael Mordha,
Diamond Head, Cruachan, and Coldwar and a great many others.
Sonus Mortis records his music at the
famous Trackmix Studios (Coldwar/Cruachan/Mael Mordha, et al) in
Dublin. His first, three-track demo was freely released in July of
2013 and continues to collect hundreds of downloads. His debut LP
record, “Propaganda Dream Sequence” was received with uproarious
and uniform acclaim in the UK, Italy, Austria, USA, Germany, Poland,
Japan, Switzerland, Singapore, and Russia, in addition to his home
nation of Ireland. “War Prophecy” represents his most highly
anticipated official release to date and has already garnered new
Sonus Mortis fans from death-metal scenes around the world.
“War Prophecy” by Sonus Mortis is
available online worldwide. Get in early, death-metal fans.
