Obake - Reveal their second album 'Mutations' !!!

Following the recent announcement of Obake's return and the release of their second studio album, we can now reveal the title 'Mutations' and confirm the release date as October 6th via Rare Noise Records. We are also pleased to share the first audio insight, the album opener 'Seven rotten Globes'. This explosive track is instantly recognisable as Obake, their trademark heavy, lurching doom guitar riffs, make room for Lorenzo's chameleon like vocal style, changing constantly throughout the songs duration. However, any sense of this being business as usual is soon shattered by the unpredictable pace changing drum blasts and ear piercing electronics which hint that a broader range of dynamics are at play on the new record.

Indeed behind the scenes the quartet comprising Lorenzo Esposito Fornasari - Vocals, Piano, Electronics, Eraldo Bernocchi - Guitar, Electronics, Balazs Pandi - Drums and Colin Edwin - Bass (Porcupine Tree) have been undergoing a metamorphosis, changing the dynamics and channelling their talents to create this new recording.  This second album arrives at the place where the energies of metal fuse with Ambient Electronica, Jazz and noise with the precision of Math Rock and the groove of Blues. Obake's sound harks back to the dawn of Hard Rock, drawing upon a variety of influences from Sunn o))), Popul Vuh, Ashra Tempel as much as Slayer, Tool, Melvins and Coil. Obake are made all the more distinctive by the fluid lyrical delivery and musings of a commanding operatic voice.

Imposing in its darkness, encompassing in its beauty and ever powerful, Obake have lost not of their might since the release of their debut, if anything, they are more captivating now than ever before. 'Mutations' was recorded by Daniel Sandor at Metropol Studio in Budapest, produced and mixed by Eraldo Bernocchi and Lorenzo Esposito Fornasari at The Place in Tuscany and mastered by Michael Fossenkemper at Turtletone Studio, New York City. Obake will be touring from October 2014 onward with the full touring line up to be announced, meanwhile check out the full track list below:
