LUNA MORTIS Offers Glimpse of “The Absence”

The southern Wisconsin quintet, LUNA MORTIS, is about to make a huge impact on the metal scene with their epic, piercing, Century Media debut full-length offering, The Absence, which runs the gamut; encompassing everything from captivating melodies, technical precision and engaging hooks. The album, produced by the acclaimed Jason Suecof (All That Remains, Trivium), is set for a Feb. 10th North American release and be sure to visit the bands official Myspace page (click below) now to stream the captivating new track Never Give In.

Mary Zimmer (vocals) further states: Hi everyone, just an update, we've uploaded one new song from our upcoming album The Absence. It's called 'Never Give In' and it's definitely one of our favorites from the new disc. We hope you'll all enjoy the new music and we can't wait until the album is out Feb. 10th! More new things are on the way, like photos, a new layout and our 3rd studio video from our recording sessions, so keep your eyes on our MySpace page for more to come.

LUNA MORTIS prides itself on blurring genre lines to arrive at something both beautiful and aggressive. Their ability to capture a progressive and dark sound should appeal to metalheads regardless of their sonic inclinations. Zimmers approach is unlike her contemporaries with an unlimited range and dynamic scope and will quickly help set the group apart from the pack.

When youre trying to break into the international music scene from Wisconsin youre left to claw your way up yourself, and LUNA MORTIS did exactly that with the 2006 release of their self-produced LP, Way of the Blade. As the album made its way through the local grapevine, the band had cemented enough of a regional reputation to generate label interest. They began a period of intensive demo production and showcasing, beginning with the recording of their EP, The Answer: Does Not Exist and culminating in the opportunity to cut four tracks with Jason Suecof. These efforts ultimately found LUNA MORTIS a home at Century Media amongst a literal pantheon of some of the band's most respected and admired influences.
