DEAD LORD – Complete new album recordings: Announce title and release date + next shows!

Leave a comment

Great news from Sweden’s infamous rockers DEAD LORD…

“We’ve been entrenched in Cuervo Recording Service’s studio in Madrid, Spain for the last week to put down what will become Dead Lord’s third album. And here’s a spoiler for you: It sounds dynamite! We once again teamed up with Ola Ersfjord to record and co-produce, whom we’ve worked with on every Dead Lord release to this day, and by now he’s a big part of how we want to sound. We’re cruising all over the spectrum with this album, having recorded some of our hardest songs, which will make you clench your fist and bang your head instantly, as well as some really sensitive tunes that will make your eyes water and reminisce about better days. We can’t wait to have this great piece of music out, and get on the roads with the new material!” –Adam Lindmark / DEAD LORD

What Mr. Lindmark forgot to mention: The title of the new album is “In Ignorance We Trust” and it is set to be released on August 25th, 2017 via Century Media Records. The photo above obviously shows DEAD LORD in Madrid with producer Ola Ersfjord (2nd from right).

Like groups of loathsome vultures and hyenas,
They sniff out death’s most mephitic perfumes
-The Carrion Eaters
