Candlelight UK will issue French metallers BLUT AUS NORD's new album, MoRT, on Monday, October 2nd. Meanwhile, Candlelight USA has issued the following on the North American release of the album:

Candlelight Records today confirms October 3rd as the U.S. release date of MoRT, the eagerly anticipated new album from French extremists Blut Aus Nord. The album adds to the band's trilogy of albums and growing stateside sales and fanbase.

Introduced to U.S. audiences via their early 2004 Candlelight debut, The Work Which Transforms God, and 2005 issue of their previously unavailable catalog Memoria Vestusta and Ultima Thulee, Brave Words Bloody Knuckles says, “Blut Aus Nord pushes the definition of music; disfigured, anti-social, pure, raw black metal... Eccentric.” Ultimate Metal calls The Work Which Transforms God, “grim, forward-thinking... probably one of the most amazing black metal albums of the last several years.”

With MoRT, Blut Aus Nord have crafted an album that is complete, haunting and sure to draw the band continued critical applause. A singular composition consisting of eight united chapters, MoRT contains the gruesome soundtrack that has quickly become the trio’s acclaimed hallmark. Nearly two years in the making, the album incorporates uniquely innovative guitar play (layering similar to early Emperor), a corrosive rhythm section and bitter vocals. Kerrang says it best when calling the band’s music, “the sound of underground metal's black heart, twisted beyond all recognition."

As previously reported, tracks to appear on the release include: 'Ruins Of The Genesis (Antiparticles)', 'Dis-Harmonization Of All Visual Echoes', 'Fusion With the Zero', 'Samsaric Ocean', 'The Meditation Of The Ghost (Samadhi)', 'Le Cercle De Ceux Qui Pleurent' and 'Alienation Of The Orphans."
