On the heels of last year’s long-awaited “The Great Deceiver” album, MORTIIS will issue “The Great Corrupter” on April 21st.
The Great Corrupter begins with tracks from the previous album, deconstructed and masterfully “corrupted” by Chris Vrenna, Rhys Fulber, Die Krupps, John Fryer, Godflesh, Merzbow, Apoptygma Berzerk, In Slaughter Natives, Raison D´Etre, Je$us Loves Amerika, PIG, and many more. The record will also contain unreleased material from the original recording sessions.
“The tracks on this album are very broad,” said Mortiis. “They range from retro sounding, heavy industrial to very deep ambient type music to electronic/industrial club type stuff.”
This new version will be available in CD and vinyl formats, each with its own unique, collectible packaging, as well as arriving digitally. Ahead of the release of “The Great Corruptor” remix album in late April, the band will be embarking on a nine date U.K. co-headline run this March with PIG, aka industrial pioneer Raymond Watts. The tour kicks off at Nottingham’s Rescue Rooms on March and finishes at London’s legendary Garage venue on March 18th.
The band commented: “We always have a great time in the UK, so being able to go out on tour there again, and with old heroes PIG no less, makes it even more exciting! What makes this tour even more special, to me personally anyway, is the fact that we just remixed each other. PIG are on our upcoming remix album ‘The Great Corrupter’ so it´s a double whammy!”
