Californian melodic death metallers Exmortus have newly signed with Nuclear Blast Records. Arriving in conjunction with the word of their new label home is the single, “Oathbreaker“. A lyric video for that overseen by Wayne Joyner (Dream Theater, Devin Townsend) can be viewed below.
Guitarist Jadran “Conan” Gonzalez commented:
“‘Oathbreaker‘ is the perfect teaser for the new album. Not only is it fast, heavy and filled with shred, but it’s inspired by Tolkien’s haunting lore of the Dead Men of Dunharrow in the Lord of the Rings: the Return of the King. While our previous work focused more on the heroic aspect of fantasy and sword & sorcery, this album expresses the darker side with tragic heroes and horrors of humanity. Enjoy the new track cause we feel it belongs in our setlists for years to come!”
Zack Ohren (Machine Head, Fallujah) oversaw the production and mixing for this new single.
