NEWS: Morag Tong climb the Majestic Mountain!

Recorded and mixed by Mike Bew at Foel Studio (Napalm Death, My Bloody Valentine, Godflesh) before being mastered by Brad Boatright (Strife, Converge, Bossk) at Audiosiege, the sophomore album “Grieve” from Desertfest favourites Morag Tong will be distributed by Majestic Mountain Records on 6th October. The follow up to the critically acclaimed “Last Knell of Om” was preceded by “At First Light” a month ago and spans four tracks and just short of 42 minutes of new music. Pre-orders are available over at bandcamp.

Vocalist and drummer Adam Asquith comments: “We wanted to create something huge and heavy, but also gorgeous, textured and atmospheric. Incorporating both massive, aggressive wall of sound sections and more pensive, stripped back ambient instrumentals I think we have hit that sweet spot – something anguished and anxious, crumbling and dangerous, yet eerily beautiful and oozing with a love for life itself.”

The band add: “We’re delighted to partner with Majestic Mountain Records [label home to Grand Cadaver, Sleep Moscow, Saint Karloff] for the release of our long-awaited second album, ‘Grieve’. MMR are one of the most exciting labels to emerge on the scene in recent years and their dedication to quality releases is second to none, so we couldn’t be happier to join a roster that’s already brimming with new talent alongside some true legends!”
