MORGENGRAU Signs with Unspeakable Axe Records

Unspeakable Axe Records will join forces with Austin death metal outfit MORGENGRAU next year for their second, currently untitled full-length album.

MORGENGRAU formed in 2010 and self-released their debut, Extrinsic Pathway, earlier this year. The album has received great reviews for its vicious death metal blending European and American influences from classic '90s bands, including Morbid Angel, Slayer, Pestilence, Asphyx, with original songwriting and a voice purely the band's own. MORGENGRAU has been entirely self-distributed and self-promoted thus far; entering into the Unspeakable Axe/Dark Descent Records fold, they are now poised to inflict vastly greater damage worldwide.

Vocalist/guitarist Erika Morgengrau has this to say about the signing: "We are very pleased and honored to be working with such a professional and respected label. This will allow us to move to the next level with our music and shall certainly inspire us to produce a second album that buries the first!"

The second MORGENGRAU album is expected to begin recording next summer for release in mid to late 2014. Extrinsic Pathway is available at morgengrau.bandcamp.com.
